Eaton Specification Sheet - 16528-1
840A amperage rating enables high-current feeding from a single block, reducing the need for parallel components and simplifying wiring for main feeders in industrial panels. This consolidation translates to lower installation time and fewer potential failure points during maintenance in harsh environments. The 600 VAC / 600 VDC voltage rating provides dual-supply compatibility, supporting both AC and DC distribution in control cabinets and motor drives for flexible, long-life power architectures. Molded thermoplastic housing delivers a robust, lightweight framework with a compact footprint, easing installation in tight spaces and simplifying retrofits in existing enclosures. UL 94-V0 flammability and RoHS compliance address safety and regulatory requirements, helping facilities meet industry standards while reducing compliance risk. The 6.5 in length, 4 in height, and 4.25 in width create a predictable footprint that fits standard panel layouts, while the 1.36 lb weight minimizes added panel load and handling effort. This block is part of the Bussmann series, ensuring reliable compatibility with common Eaton catalogs and wiring practices for power distribution blocks.

FAQs
The 16528-1 is a single-pole block with a molded thermoplastic housing designed for straightforward mounting in standard control panels. It supports high-current wiring up to 840A and uses typical Bussmann-series wiring practices. For installation, follow manufacturer torque and conductor size recommendations, place it in a accessible location for inspection, and ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation in crowded enclosures.
Yes. The block is rated for 840A and supports both 600 Vac and 600 Vdc, enabling flexible AC/DC power distribution in a single device. This reduces part variety in control panels and simplifies maintenance. When deploying in mixed-technology environments, verify wiring polarity and ensure protective coverings meet local code requirements.
Absolutely. With dimensions of 6.5 in length, 4 in height, and 4.25 in width, plus a weight of 1.36 lb, the block fits compact panel spaces and retrofits easily into existing Bussmann-series layouts. Its compact footprint helps minimize enclosure depth, and its durable molded thermoplastic housing supports reliable operation in confined automation environments.
The 16528-1 features UL 94-V0 flammability and RoHS compliance, supporting safety and environmental requirements in many regions. For additional certifications or approvals (e.g., customer-specific or regional listings), contact Eaton for the most current documentation and validation options. This ensures alignment with plant-wide compliance programs and procurement standards.
By consolidating current paths into a single high-current block, the 16528-1 reduces wiring complexity, panel space, and installation time, improving uptime. Its 840A rating minimizes the need for parallel blocks, while RoHS and UL 94-V0 compliance lower regulatory risk. Overall, fewer parts, faster servicing, and dependable performance translate to lower maintenance costs and faster project ROI in demanding industrial environments.
