FAQs
Yes. The 16541-1 is a single-pole power distribution block designed for integration within control panels and electrical enclosures, aligning with the Eaton Bussmann fuse family for compatible distribution and wiring practices. The torque rating of 4.3 lb-in aids proper termination, reducing the likelihood of loose connections in standard mounting footprints.
Key specs include a 6.5 in length, 4 in height, and 4.5 in width with a weight of 1.26 lb, a 4.3 lb-in torque rating for secure terminations, and a single-pole configuration. These dimensions and torque values support stable, vibration-resistant terminations in machinery panels and control cabinets.
The 16541-1 excels in panel wiring for automation and control systems, including manufacturing lines, packaging equipment, and rack-mounted power distribution in industrial facilities. Its compact footprint and RoHS compliance make it suitable for tight enclosures and sustainability-focused deployments.
The listing specifies RoHS compliance. For additional or regional certifications (CE, IP ratings, etc.), consult Eaton directly to obtain the current approvals and any required documentation. Keeping a record of RoHS confirmation is essential for regulatory audits and supplier qualification in manufacturing environments.
By delivering secure, repeatable terminations with a known torque, the 16541-1 reduces rework and downtime caused by loose connections. Its compact size simplifies installation, lowers panel density, and improves spare-part accuracy (catalog 16541-1, UPC 051712208406), contributing to predictable maintenance schedules and reduced lifecycle costs in automation projects.
