Bussmann PDBFS220 IP-20 Finger-Safe Power Distribution Block, 175A

The Bussmann PDBFS220 is part of the Eaton Bussmann series PDBFS power distribution block line, engineered to deliver reliable, code-compliant power distribution in panel and control-enclosure applications. This IP-20 finger-safe block is rated 600 Vac / 600 Vdc at 175A, mounts directly to standard DIN rail, and carries a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) of 200 kA for 12 to 4 AWG conductors and 100 kA for 14 to 4 AWG conductors. It's built for electricians and panel builders who need a compact, touch-safe distribution point that stands up to demanding fault-current conditions.

Key Features

  • Conductor Range: Accepts 12 to 4 AWG conductors at a 200 kA SCCR, and 14 to 4 AWG conductors at a 100 kA SCCR, giving installers flexibility across wire gauges without sacrificing fault-current protection.
  • IP-20 Finger-Safe Design: Touch-safe terminal construction helps protect personnel from accidental contact with live parts during installation and maintenance.
  • Electrical Rating: Rated 600 Vac and 600 Vdc at 175A, suitable for demanding power distribution requirements in industrial and commercial systems.
  • DIN Rail Mounting: Snaps onto standard DIN rail for fast, standardized installation inside panels and enclosures, simplifying layout and maintenance.
  • High Short-Circuit Current Rating: SCCR of 200 kA (12 to 4 AWG) and 100 kA (14 to 4 AWG) supports use in systems with elevated available fault current.
  • Power Distribution Block Function: Provides a centralized, space-saving point to split a single incoming feed into multiple branch circuits within a control panel or enclosure.

Technical Specifications

  • Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial Control Panels and Enclosures
  • Machine Building and OEM Panel Wiring
  • DIN Rail-Based Power Distribution Systems
  • Commercial and Industrial Electrical Installations
  • Panelboard and Sub-Circuit Feed-Through Wiring

Bussmann PDBFS220 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes will the Bussmann PDBFS220 power distribution block accept, and does the SCCR change with gauge?
The PDBFS220 takes 12 to 4 AWG conductors with a 200 kA short-circuit current rating, and 14 to 4 AWG with a 100 kA rating. So the same block covers both ranges, but if your panel's available fault current calculation needs the full 200 kA, keep your conductors in the 12 to 4 AWG window. Anything at 14 AWG drops you to the 100 kA figure.
2) What is the difference between the Bussmann PDBFS220 and the PDBFS500?
Amperage. The PDBFS220 is the 175A block and the PDBFS500 is the 620A block. Both are from the Bussmann PDBFS finger-safe line. Size the block to the incoming feed you are splitting, not to the sum of the branch circuits.
3) Can I use the Bussmann PDBFS220 distribution block on a 600V DC circuit?
Yes. The PDBFS220 is rated 600 Vac and 600 Vdc at 175A, so it is usable on either AC or DC control and power circuits up to 600V.
4) Does the Bussmann PDBFS finger-safe block mount to DIN rail or does it need a panel screw mount?
It snaps onto standard DIN rail. That is the mounting method for the PDBFS finger-safe blocks, so plan a rail run inside the enclosure rather than drilling and tapping a back panel.
5) What does IP-20 finger-safe mean on a power distribution block, and does it matter for my panel?
IP-20 means the terminal construction is built so a finger cannot reach a live part. On the Bussmann PDBFS blocks that is the point of the design: an electrician or maintenance tech working in an energized control enclosure is protected against accidental contact with the terminals. If your work rules call for touch-safe distribution inside a panel that gets serviced live, that is the reason to pick a finger-safe block over an open-strap block.
6) I need to split one incoming feed into several branch circuits in a control panel. Is this the right part?
That is exactly what a power distribution block does, and the Bussmann PDBFS220 is built for it: one centralized point inside a control panel or enclosure that takes a single incoming feed and distributes it to multiple branch circuits. It is a distribution point only, not a protective device, so your overcurrent protection still goes upstream or on the branches.
