Eaton PDB220-1 Power Distribution Block - IP-20 Finger-safe
Part Number: PDB220-1
Quick Summary
The PDB220-1 power distribution block from Eaton is a compact, high-performance solution for safely routing power within panels and control cabinets. Engineers often struggle with limited space and finger-access risks in tight automation layouts, but this block combines a small footprint with rugged electrical performance to simplify installs. With IP-20 finger-safe protection and RoHS compliance, it aligns with common safety and regulatory expectations while delivering reliable current handling. The device also supports a broad voltage window (600 Vac and 600 Vdc) and robust SCCR ratings, making it suitable for mixed AC/DC panel networks. In practice, this translates to faster panel assembly, cleaner wiring, and reduced downtime in production lines.

FAQs
To install the PDB220-1, mount the unit on the panel as a panel-mount distribution block and connect conductors using compatible wire sizes (#12-4 AWG up to the listed SCCR). Ensure the IP-20 finger-safe covering remains in place and secure the block to the panel to maintain safety and enclosure integrity. Follow standard lockout/tagout procedures during wiring and verify connections are snug to minimize resistance and heat.
The PDB220-1 is rated for 175 A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac and 600 Vdc. Its short-circuit current rating (SCCR) is 200 kAIC for #12-4 AWG wires and 100 kAIC for #14-4 AWG wires, allowing high fault-current protection in panel systems while accommodating typical control electronics and motor-drive applications.
Yes. The PDB220-1 is RoHS compliant, reducing exposure to restricted substances in manufacturing and end-use environments. It is designed for panel mounting, offering a compact, safe, and tool-friendly solution for integrated power distribution within control panels and electrical cabinets.
The PDB220-1 measures 2.85 in in length (depth), 1.68 in in height, and 1.6 in in width, with a weight of approximately 0.19 lb. It is a single-pole power distribution block intended for panel mounting, using tin-plated aluminum connectors for durable, corrosion-resistant connections.
