Overview

The Mersen CEP-FSPDB85 Compact Power Distribution Block (PDB) is a finger-safe, UL-recognized and CSA-certified solution for space-constrained electrical panels requiring reliable 600V power distribution. Rated for 65A–85A continuous current, this 1-pole PDB supports line-side wire ranges from AWG #4–#14 and load-side ranges from AWG #6–#14 + #8–#16, including DLO (Diesel Locomotive Cable) for flexible installations. The block features a compact footprint optimized for low-voltage industrial and commercial applications where panel real estate is limited. Key specifications include a maximum current rating of 85A, line-side wire hole range of #4–#14 with a 1/8" hex driver size, and load-side wire hole ranges of #6–#14 (top, 3 openings) and #8–#16 (bottom, 2 openings). Wire strip back lengths are 0.575" for line-side and 0.575" (#6–#14) or 0.425" (#8–#14) for load-side. Torque requirements are 50 in-lbs for line-side (#4) and 33–35 in-lbs for load-side (#6–#14 or #8–#14). The CEP-FSPDB85 is designed for DIN rail mounting, enabling rapid installation in control panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards. Its translucent covers allow visual inspection of wiring without disassembly, reducing maintenance time. The tin-plated aluminum construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term performance in harsh industrial environments. With an IP20 rating, it provides basic protection against solid objects while maintaining accessibility for wiring adjustments. UL file #E73571 and CSA certification confirm compliance with North American safety standards. The block’s short-circuit current rating (SCCR) is 100kA when used with proper fusing, meeting stringent industrial safety requirements. Ideal for applications in manufacturing, automation, renewable energy systems, and commercial buildings, the CEP-FSPDB85 simplifies inventory management by accommodating multiple AWG sizes in a single unit.
