Eaton 16371-1 Power distribution block - SCCR 100 kAIC
Part Number: 16371-1
Quick Summary
Eaton Bussmann series power distribution block provides compact, high-current distribution for industrial panels and control cabinets. Engineers often struggle with limited enclosure space, conflicting voltage ratings, and SCCR constraints when expanding power distribution. Highlights include a 600 Vac/600 Vdc rating, 310 A amperage, and an SCCR of 100 kAIC, with RoHS compliance confirmed by the factory. These capabilities help reduce footprint, simplify compliance documentation, and speed installation in manufacturing facilities, enabling safer and more reliable power distribution in demanding environments. For designers, the block’s robust materials and single-pole configuration offer a scalable solution that integrates smoothly with tin-plated aluminum connectors and molded thermoplastic bases.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 16371-1
Feature: High amperage and voltage rating (310A, 600 Vac/600 Vdc) encompasses heavy-load distribution while maintaining compact form. Impact: Enables smaller control panels with fewer external feeders, reducing wiring complexity and material costs. Application: Ideal for industrial automation panels and equipment enclosures where space is at a premium and reliable power distribution is required. Feature: Short-circuit rating of SCCR 100 kAIC improves fault tolerance and protects downstream devices, reducing downtime and equipment damage. Impact: Enhances system safety margins and simplifies protection coordination in motor drives and MCCs. Application: Critical in manufacturing lines and process automations with high fault-current risk. Feature: Single-pole design with a molded thermoplastic base and tin-plated aluminum connector provides durable, corrosion-resistant connections. Impact: Extends service life in demanding environments and minimizes maintenance. Application: Suitable for compact panel layouts and equipment cabinets needing robust, long-term reliability. Feature: RoHS compliant (factory confirmation) supports regulatory compliance and sustainable disposal practices. Impact: Reduces compliance risk and eases supply chain audits. Application: Environments with strict environmental and recycling requirements, including European markets. Feature: Compact dimensions and light weight (5.25 in L × 2.5 in W × 2.5 in H, 0.72 lb) support efficient panel design and easier handling. Impact: Improves space planning and reduces shipping/storage costs. Application: Integration into space-constrained control panels and instrument enclosures. Feature: Broad compatibility with Bussmann series components and standard wiring practices simplifies installation and maintenance. Impact: Reduces engineering time and accelerates project timelines. Application: Retrofit and upgrade projects in automation facilities seeking scalable power distribution solutions.

FAQs
Plan for the 5.25 in length, 2.5 in width, and 2.5 in height footprint, ensuring clearance for wiring and tin-plated aluminum connections. The single-pole design and molded thermoplastic base simplify mounting in compact enclosures, while the 310A rating requires appropriate conductor sizing and protection devices. Verify RoHS compliance with the factory if the project requires specific regulatory documentation.
The 16371-1 supports up to 310A and a voltage rating of 600 Vac / 600 Vdc, with a short-circuit rating (SCCR) of 100 kAIC. It is a single-pole power distribution block with a black molded thermoplastic base and a tin-plated aluminum connector, weighing 0.72 lb. These specs guide conductor sizing, protection settings, and panel layout.
The block is designed for general power distribution in control panels and equipment enclosures with a robust thermoplastic base and corrosion-resistant connectors. For harsh-environment applications, confirm enclosure IP/ratings with the factory and consider additional protection or enclosures if environmental exposure exceeds standard indoor conditions.
RoHS compliance is confirmed by the factory for this product. The data does not list explicit SIL, CE, or IP certifications; for those requirements, contact Eaton to confirm availability or to request factory documentation and qualification samples as needed.
Benefits include reduced panel footprint thanks to compact dimensions, reliable tin-plated aluminum connections, and a durable thermoplastic base that minimizes maintenance. High SCCR rating reduces downtime risk, while RoHS compliance streamlines regulatory audits. Overall, these factors contribute to faster installation, lower maintenance costs, and safer, compliant power distribution.
