High-current capability drives efficiency: The 310 A amperage rating paired with SCCR of 100 kAIC enables safe distribution for large loads, reducing the need for multiple blocks and simplifying panel design. This translates to lower wiring complexity, faster installation, and improved system uptime in machine controls and power distribution networks. The two-pole configuration and compact 2 x 3 inch footprint optimize space in constrained control panels, enabling denser layouts without compromising accessibility or serviceability. Durable construction combines a molded thermoplastic base with tin-plated aluminum connectors, delivering corrosion resistance and robust electrical contacts that extend service life in harsh industrial environments, lowering maintenance intervals and total cost of ownership. Compliance features, including RoHS alignment and UL recognition per Eaton datasheets, help meet regulatory requirements and customer audit demands while supporting easier supplier qualification. At a light 0.45 lb, the block is easy to handle during retrofit or new installations, speeding up assembly and reducing installation labor.

FAQs
The 16370-2 is a two-pole power distribution block with a compact 2 x 3 inch footprint and a molded thermoplastic base, designed to fit standard control panels and machine enclosures. It accepts tin-plated aluminum connectors and supports easy wiring with clearly labeled specifications. For retrofit projects, verify clearance and conductor sizing to ensure clean terminal access and reliable torque during wiring.
Key specs include an amperage rating of 310 A, voltage rating of 600 Vac and 600 Vdc, and a short-circuit rating (SCCR) of 100 kAIC. The two-pole configuration is optimized for high-current distribution, enabling reliable protection and traceability in panel assemblies, with robust connections designed for industrial environments.
Yes. The 16370-2 is rated at 600 Vac and 600 Vdc, with a high SCCR of 100 kAIC, making it suitable for demanding AC power distribution in panel boards, motor control centers, and machine envelopes. Its construction supports durable operation in harsh environments while maintaining safe, compliant electrical connections.
The product is RoHS compliant as listed in the Compliances field, and Eaton provides UL recognition data via its specifications and datasheets. Certifications beyond RoHS and UL status can be obtained from the manufacturer upon request, ensuring alignment with customer-specific regulatory requirements and audit processes.
By supporting up to 310 A in a compact, space-saving footprint, the 16370-2 reduces the number of required distribution blocks and simplifies wiring. The tin-plated aluminum connectors offer reliable, low-resistance terminations, which lowers contact resistance drift and maintenance frequency. Together with RoHS/UL compliance, this leads to lower lifecycle costs and quicker, safer panel commissioning.
