Eaton PDBFS504 Power Distribution Block - IP-20 Finger-Safe
Part Number: PDBFS504
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann series PDBFS power distribution block enables reliable power distribution for control panels in industrial automation. In crowded panel rooms, installers struggle with finger-safety, space constraints, and inconsistent current ratings. This block delivers IP-20 finger-safe protection, a 600 Vac/600 Vdc rating, and SCCR up to 200 kAIC, simplifying compliance and reliability. Its panel-mount design with tin-plated aluminum connectors supports fast installation, reduced miswiring, and long‑term maintenance savings. The device is RoHS compliant and built for high current panels where uptime and safety are non-negotiable. For buyers, that translates to faster deployment, reduced warranty risk, and clean electrical layouts that technicians can trust.

IP-20 finger-safe design combined with a panel-mount footprint reduces risk and simplifies installation in busy automation environments. The finger-safe enclosure helps meet safety standards, while the compact footprint frees valuable panel space and reduces wiring length, cutting assembly time and potential contact points. This combination is ideal for control panels in manufacturing lines where space is at a premium. With a 760 A rating and 600 Vac/600 Vdc voltage capability, the PDBFS504 supports high-current feeders for motors and drives without needing multiple distribution blocks. The result is fewer parts, lower installation costs, and improved efficiency in panel builds. SCCR ratings of 200 kAIC (500 kcmil) and 100 kAIC for #6-500 kcmil provide robust fault-current protection in harsh factory environments, reducing the risk of cascading faults and extending equipment life in process lines and heavy machinery. Tin-plated aluminum connectors offer corrosion resistance and stable electrical contacts under vibration and temperature fluctuations, translating into lower maintenance and fewer retightening events in remote installations. Panel mounting, a 4.5 in length and 3 in width footprint, and a weight of about 1.009 lb enable easy retrofit in existing enclosures and new builds alike, while aligning with RoHS compliance and standard mechanical tolerances to reduce integration risk and accelerate procurement.

FAQs
Install by securing the block to a panel using a standard enclosure opening. The PDBFS504 features a 4.5 in depth and a 3 in by 3 in footprint, enabling straightforward placement in typical panels. Use the tin-plated aluminum connectors for reliable contacts and ensure the panel support is solid. Verify proper 600 Vac/600 Vdc rating and 760 A path, and confirm SCCR compatibility with upstream equipment to maximize safety and uptime.
The PDBFS504 is rated for 760 A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac and 600 Vdc. It provides an SCCR of up to 200 kAIC for 500 kcmil connections and 100 kAIC for #6-500 kcmil connections. This wide current and fault-current capability supports high-demand feeders and motor drives while maintaining safe panel operation and fault isolation.
Yes. With a 760 A rating and 600 Vac/600 Vdc capability, plus SCCR up to 200 kAIC, the PDBFS504 is well-suited for motor drive panels and heavy automation feeders. Its panel-mount format and durable tin-plated aluminum connectors simplify integration, reduce wiring complexity, and improve uptime in demanding industrial environments.
The PDBFS504 carries RoHS compliance and IP-20 finger-safe protection, providing safety and environmental benefits for modern manufacturing settings. Catalog data and manufacturer notes indicate RoHS compliance is supported, and IP-20 protection helps limit exposure to finger contacts in typical panel environments.
The device’s robust connectors, high SCCR, and durable panel-mount design reduce maintenance cycles and wiring issues, delivering lower lifecycle costs. Fewer parts are needed for high-current feeds, faster installation reduces labor time, and the tin-plated aluminum contacts maintain reliable performance under vibration and temperature changes, resulting in improved uptime and predictable operating costs.
