Eaton PDBFS500 Power Distribution Block - IP-20 Finger-safe

The PDBFS500 delivers a robust 620 A amperage rating with SCCR of 200 kAIC, ensuring reliable distribution even during fault conditions in demanding automation lines. This translates to fewer panel-wide shutdowns, reduced arc-flash risk for operators, and markedly higher uptime for conveyors, presses, and packaging lines. Designed for DIN rail and panel mounting, it supports flexible layouts in compact control cabinets without compromising current capacity or serviceability. IP-20 finger-safe construction minimizes accidental contact and supports safer maintenance in busy manufacturing cells. Combined with straightforward DIN rail mounting, it enables rapid installations on existing enclosures, trimming commissioning time and field wiring errors. The design also aligns with common safety standards, helping systems integrators meet risk assessments during expansion or retrofit projects. With 600 Vac and 600 Vdc voltage ratings and tin-plated aluminum connectors, the block handles mixed AC/DC feeds with excellent corrosion resistance. That ruggedness lowers replacement frequency and maintenance costs while sustaining reliable performance in dusty or humid plant environments. For engineers optimizing a bill of materials, this broad compatibility reduces part counts and simplifies wiring schemes across machine sections. Measuring 5 in by 3 in by 2.5 in and weighing 0.765 lb, the PDBFS500 fits tightly in dense panels and supports scalable power distribution in multi-block arrays. Its compact footprint enables efficient DIN rail utilization and smoother retrofits, preserving space for controllers, sensors, and I/O modules. Installers benefit from consistent connectors and clear labeling during harnessing, speeding up commissioning and long-term maintenance. RoHS compliant construction and UL-listed documentation support regulatory alignment, supplier qualification, and confident procurement. The Eaton Bussmann series reputation accompanies thorough datasheets and catalogs to aid comparative reviews. By delivering IP-20 safety, high SCCR, and DIN rail compatibility in a small form factor, the PDBFS500 enables standardized solutions across multiple automation projects.
