Bussmann PDBFS204 Power Distribution Block Finger-Safe 1 Pole 175 A

SKU CH-B1WN-TH50T

Finger-safe single-pole distribution block accepts 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper conductors at 175 A and 600 V with DIN-rail or surface mounting

  • Brand nameEATON BUSSMANN
  • Finger-safe design prevents accidental contact with live parts
  • 175 A maximum current rating supports heavy-duty copper conductors
  • Accepts 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper wire for flexible installations
  • DIN-rail and surface mounting options suit various panel layouts
  • Rated for 600 V maximum voltage in industrial power distribution

Single-Pole 175 A Distribution

The Bussmann PDBFS204 is a finger-safe power distribution block rated for 175 A at 600 V. It accepts copper or aluminium conductors from 14 AWG up to 2/0 AWG on both line and load sides. The single-pole design suits industrial control panels and generator wiring where a single high-current feed must be split.

DIN-Rail or Surface Mount

The block mounts on standard DIN rail or directly onto a panel surface, giving installers flexibility inside enclosures. Each pole provides one line connection and one load connection, so a single incoming cable can feed one outgoing circuit without extra terminal blocks. The finger-safe housing reduces accidental contact during maintenance.

Upgrade from Open Terminal Strips

This unit replaces exposed bus bars or screw-terminal strips that lack touch protection and have lower current ratings. The jump is worthwhile when a panel needs 175 A capacity with 600 V insulation and a compact, DIN-rail footprint. It is not suited for multi-pole distribution or applications requiring more than one load tap per pole.

Questions about this item

Will the 175 A rating hold continuously on a DIN-rail mount without derating?

The block is rated for 175 A maximum current with copper conductors at 600 V; sustained loads at that level should follow local code derating rules for the enclosure and ambient temperature.

Does the finger-safe cover stay cool enough to touch after hours at full load?

The housing is designed to remain finger-safe under normal operation; temperature rise depends on wire size, torque and ventilation, so verify with an infrared check in your installation.

What wire gauges and tools do I need to terminate both line and load sides?

Each pole accepts 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper; a torque screwdriver or hex driver matched to the terminal screws is required for secure connections.
