Eaton PDB280-3 Power Distribution Block - RoHS Compliant
Part Number: PDB280-3
Quick Summary
Eaton PDB280-3 power distribution block provides compact three-pole power routing for industrial panels. Engineers often battle crowded enclosures and wiring complexity when scaling control circuits. Beyond RoHS compliance, CE marking and regional standards influence site acceptance and maintenance decisions. The block’s small footprint—0.1 in depth, height, and width—along with a 0.8 lb weight helps optimize panel density and reduce mounting effort. Standardized cataloging (PDB280-3) simplifies part compatibility and procurement across Eaton Bussmann device families. In practice, engineers benefit from predictable installation dimensions and traceable part numbers (UPC 051712637800) that ease BOM setup and aftermarket service. This combination of compact size, clear specifications, and reliability translates to faster commissioning and lower lifecycle cost.

Eaton Specification Sheet - PDB280-3
Three-pole design provides dedicated distribution paths for each phase, reducing wiring complexity and improving reliability in control panels. The business impact is faster troubleshooting, lower failure risk, and shorter maintenance cycles, translating into minimized downtime. In practice, this configuration supports machine enclosures and panel cabinets where space is at a premium and precise phase distribution matters, enabling consistent electrical performance across multiple channels and simplifying future scaling. RoHS compliance ensures material restrictions are met, simplifying regulatory audits and end-of-life recycling programs. The business impact includes reduced risk of non-conformance during supplier qualification and broader access to global markets that require environmental standards. This compliance context is especially valuable in automation projects where ongoing maintenance and change control depend on a standardized, environmentally responsible component family such as Eaton Bussmann. Compact footprint with 0.1 in depth, height, and width, and a lightweight 0.8 lb weight enable higher panel density and simpler retrofits. The installation advantage translates into shorter commissioning times and lower mounting labor, critical in capital projects with tight schedules. This makes the PDB280-3 attractive for retrofits and new builds in fast-paced manufacturing environments where every millimeter and minute counts. Clear cataloging and traceability (Catalog Number PDB280-3 and UPC 051712637800) support efficient procurement and accurate BOM management. The business impact includes fewer part-number errors, smoother vendor handoffs, and faster stock replenishment. Compatibility with other Eaton Bussmann components ensures scalable expansion and a consistent electrical architecture across automation projects, reducing total cost of ownership over time. Three-pole distribution aligns with multi-line power needs in automation setups, providing predictable electrical performance and straightforward spare-part planning. This design supports scalable architectures in control panels and machine rooms, helping engineering teams standardize distribution strategies and reduce variation across equipment footprints. When paired with Eaton datasheets and specification sheets, it accelerates design reviews and commissioning, delivering a faster time-to-production.

FAQs
The PDB280-3 is designed as part of the Eaton Bussmann family, sharing standard cataloging and electrical interfaces that simplify integration with other Bussmann blocks and accessories. In practice, engineers gain a consistent mounting footprint, aligned electrical ratings, and a streamlined BOM to minimize engineering changes during expansion or retrofit projects.
The PDB280-3 specifies a compact footprint of 0.1 inches in length, depth, and width, with a weight of 0.8 pounds. This small size supports higher panel density and easier retrofits, while preserving adequate spacing for safe electrical routing and accessibility.
Yes, the PDB280-3 is RoHS compliant, aligning with restricted substances requirements for environmental and regulatory compliance. While RoHS is confirmed, project teams should verify regional standards such as CE marking in their deployment region to ensure full site acceptance and maintenance compatibility.
Because the block is three-pole and compact, plan for panel mounting within standard enclosure layouts to maximize space efficiency. Use the catalog number PDB280-3 for ordering and ensure UPC traceability (051712637800) in the BOM. The clear specifications support straightforward wiring schemes and reduced risk during installation.
Expected benefits include faster commissioning due to predictable dimensions and standardized part numbers, reduced BOM errors, and lower lifecycle costs from improved reliability and simpler maintenance. The RoHS compliance and three-pole design also contribute to regulatory readiness and scalable expansion across automation installations.
