FAQs
To install the 16332-2, first de-energize the panel and verify compatibility with your enclosure. Mount the block using standard hardware, then terminate conductors to the tin-plated aluminum connectors following Eaton’s datasheet guidance. Ensure proper clearance and protective covers are in place. Verify the wiring meets the 600 Vac/600 Vdc rating and maintain the SCCR 10 kAIC capability for fault conditions. Adhere to all safety procedures and torque specs from the manufacturer to ensure reliable operation.
The 16332-2 is a two-pole power distribution block rated for 310 A with voltage ratings of 600 Vac and 600 Vdc. It provides SCCR protection up to 10 kAIC, enabling safe operation in high fault-current environments. The block uses a molded thermoplastic base with tin-plated aluminum connectors, and comes in black. It is RoHS compliant and designed for compact control panels with space-saving considerations.
Yes, the 16332-2 is well-suited for space-constrained panels due to its compact footprint: 3.94 in length, 3.59 in width, and 3.19 in height, with a weight of about 1.9 lb. Its two-pole design and dual voltage capability help reduce part counts. When used in high-density layouts, ensure proper mounting clearances and cable routing to maintain serviceability and thermal performance.
The 16332-2 is RoHS compliant, aligning with regulatory requirements for electronics manufacturing. The short-circuit rating is specified as SCCR 10 kAIC, indicating protection against high fault currents. For additional certifications such as CE or IP ratings, it is recommended to confirm directly with Eaton, as certain regional or application-specific certifications may vary by production lot.
Adopting the 16332-2 can lower maintenance and wiring complexity in control panels by consolidating power distribution into a single, robust block. The high SCCR and dual-voltage support reduce the need for multiple components, improving reliability and uptime. The RoHS compliance and durable materials minimize replacement costs and downtime due to environmental wear and connectivity issues.
