FAQs
The PDB323-2 is ideal for panel-mounted power distribution in control cabinets, machine panels, and automation racks. With a 600 V rating, 310 A capacity, and 200 kAIC SCCR, it supports high-current feeder distributions while keeping wiring organized. Its compact 4 in depth and seven-terminal layout simplify retrofits and new panel designs alike, reducing footprint and installation time on busy production floors.
Key specs include a 600 V voltage rating, 310 A amperage rating, SCCR of 200 kAIC, two-pole configuration, and seven terminals. The unit uses tin-plated aluminum connectors and operates from -20°C to 120°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments while maintaining reliable electrical performance.
Install the PDB323-2 as a panel-mounted block within the enclosure, ensuring proper clearance for the seven terminals and adequate cooling. The device has a 4 in depth and a 3.96 in width with a 3.325 in height, enabling a tidy fit in many standard panel cutouts. Verify conductor sizing and torque requirements per Eaton specifications and use tin-plated aluminum connectors for best contact integrity.
Compliances indicate RoHS compliance, with certifications explicitly labeled as 'Contact Manufacturer' for formal certifications. For high-stakes regulatory needs (CE, UL, IP), consult Eaton’s technical documentation or your distributor to confirm current certification status and any regional approvals required for your application.
Yes. The PDB323-2 consolidates high-current distribution into a compact, panel-ready block, reducing enclosure footprint and wiring complexity. With a robust SCCR and corrosion-resistant tin-plated connectors, it lowers maintenance, minimizes downtime, and simplifies compliance documentation. Its RoHS compliance further mitigates environmental risk, contributing to lower lifecycle costs in multi-site deployments.
