High-current, high-SCCR capability translates to safer fault handling and reduced risk of cascading failures in motor drives and power distribution networks. This is critical for machine control panels where space is at a premium and uptime is non-negotiable. The IP-20 finger-safe design minimizes operator exposure during wiring and maintenance, increasing productivity and lowering safety incidents in busy enclosures. With a 175 A rating and dual voltage capability (600 Vac and 600 Vdc), the PDBFS204 supports mixed AC/DC loads within a single block, simplifying panel design and reducing part counts. Tin-plated aluminum connectors deliver corrosion resistance in harsh manufacturing environments, contributing to dependable connections and longer service life. DIN rail and panel mounting versatility enables fast, tool-efficient installations in new builds or retrofits, while the compact footprint and light weight (0.19 lb) save valuable panel space and facilitate scalable expansion. RoHS compliance ensures global deployment without regulatory hesitation, making this block suitable for multinational projects and standardization across facilities.

FAQs
Mounting is straightforward: attach the PDBFS204 to a standard DIN rail or panel as part of a control cabinet installation. Confirm compatibility by ensuring the rail length and available space permit the 2.15 in depth, 0.99 in width, and 3.7 in height footprint, and verify the panel thickness and mounting provisions meet your enclosure design. The unit’s tin-plated aluminum connectors simplify secure terminal connections and reduce torque requirements during installation.
The PDBFS204 is rated for 175 A, with voltage ratings of 600 Vac and 600 Vdc. It provides a short-circuit rating (SCCR) of 200 kAIC, supporting robust protection in high-current distributions. These specs enable reliable distribution for mixed AC/DC loads in industrial control panels and motors, while maintaining safety margins during faults.
Yes. With dual voltage support (600 Vac/600 Vdc) and a high SCCR, the PDBFS204 accommodates mixed AC/DC feeds common in automation equipment, machine controls, and drives. Its flexible mounting and finger-safe design make it ideal for compact control cabinets where space, safety, and reliability are critical.
The PDBFS204 carries RoHS compliance for global manufacturing and deployment. It features IP-20 finger-safe protection for safe wiring and maintenance. While specific listing bodies aren’t published in the data, the RoHS status and IP rating address key regulatory expectations for industrial components, with performance validated by the documented SCCR and voltage ratings.
Maintenance is minimized thanks to corrosion-resistant tin-plated aluminum connectors and a stable, vibration-tolerant DIN rail/panel mounting. The high current rating reduces the need for additional blocks, lowering wiring complexity and lifecycle costs. The compact footprint saves panel space, enabling denser machine architectures and faster retrofits, which translates to reduced downtime and a favorable return on investment over the equipment lifecycle.
