Eaton Specification Sheet - 16541-3
Three-pole design consolidates multi-circuit power routing into a single, compact footprint, reducing panel depth and simplifying wiring schemes. This directly translates into faster panel fabrication, easier fault isolation, and improved maintainability in industrial control environments. The business impact is lower assembly time and reduced risk of wiring errors during upgrades or commissioning, making it ideal for control panels, equipment racks, and distributed power architectures. Torque rating of 10.4 lb-in ensures predictable, repeatable terminations, minimizing loosening under vibration and thermal cycling, which lowers maintenance frequency and improves reliability in harsh industrial settings. The result is steadier electrical performance, fewer field service calls, and longer component life, especially in high-load or high-duty-cycle applications. The block’s dimensions—6.5 in L × 4 in H × 4.5 in W—and a weight of 1.26 lb support easy mounting within standard enclosures, reducing installation time and the need for custom fabrication. RoHS compliance further reduces regulatory risk for integrated projects, while the catalog 16541-3 and UPC 051712208420 enable precise procurement and version control. Integration with the Bussmann series ecosystem simplifies compatibility with existing protection devices, lowering spare parts diversity and improving inventory management. In practice, this means faster project timelines, more predictable maintenance planning, and lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.

FAQs
The 16541-3 is a three-pole power distribution block designed for enclosures and control panels. Its compact footprint (6.5 in L x 4 in H x 4.5 in W) fits tight spaces, while its three-pole configuration supports multiple circuits from a single mounting point. It pairs well with Bussmann protection devices for streamlined wiring and reliable fault isolation in machine panels.
The 16541-3 is RoHS compliant, supporting restricted materials requirements common in industrial deployments. Additional certifications such as CE or IP ratings are not listed in the provided data; customers should contact the factory to confirm and pursue documentation for their specific regulatory needs during project qualification.
Yes. The block is part of Eaton’s Bussmann series, designed for integration with standard control-panel assemblies and protection devices. Its three-pole configuration, catalog number 16541-3, and UPC 051712208420 simplify sourcing, while the torque specification supports reliable terminations in typical panel environments.
The 16541-3 features a torque rating of 10.4 lb-in, which provides a predictable tightening torque for all terminals. This minimizes connection loosening due to vibration or thermal cycling, reduces contact resistance, and helps prevent intermittent faults. For maintenance planning, consistent torque translates to longer service intervals and improved long-term reliability.
procuring the 16541-3 offers clear advantages: catalog identification (16541-3) and UPC (051712208420) enable fast reordering and accurate inventory control. The RoHS compliance reduces regulatory risk, while the three-pole design streamlines wiring and fault isolation. Overall, this reduces spare parts variety, shortens commissioning time, and lowers total cost of ownership through improved reliability and easier field servicing.
