FAQs
To install 16372-1, mount the device in a clean, ventilated panel area with minimal vibration. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and use appropriate hardware to secure the single-pole block. Leave enough clearance for termination access and future maintenance. Termination should follow manufacturer torque recommendations and use compatible lugs or connectors designed for tin-plated aluminum contacts.
SCCR 10 kAIC indicates the short-circuit current rating the block can withstand without failure. This enhances safety by limiting arc energy during faults and supports proper coordination with upstream protective devices. For motor drives and automation panels, it reduces the need for excessive protective devices and helps meet system-level safety requirements.
Yes, the 16372-1 is rated for 600 Vdc and single-pole configurations, making it suitable for DC bus distribution in appropriate braking or energy recovery sections of a panel. Always verify wiring, insulation, and connector compatibility with your DC bus design and confirm with the datasheet for your specific application.
The unit is RoHS compliant and designed for modern electrical assemblies. For additional certifications beyond RoHS, contact the factory to confirm availability. This helps ensure regulatory alignment for global manufacturing and simplifies cross-border procurement in equipment builds.
The 16372-1 reduces wiring complexity and improves termination reliability, leading to lower maintenance needs and reduced downtime. Its durable thermoplastic base and tin-plated aluminum connector provide long service life under industrial conditions, translating to lower replacement frequency and improved uptime in automation environments.
