Mersen FSEA - FSPDBs introduce a new level of safety and ease for installing power distribution blocks. An IP20 level of finger safe protection is achieved using the FSPDBs and thus eliminates the need for special covers or custom Plexiglas sheets to protect your panels. FSPDBs (sizes 1 to 4) simply snap onto 35mm DIN rail to provide the quickest installation. And since they are modular, you can form any number of poles desired. If multi-pole panel mounting is desired, multiple-pole assembly pins are available. FSPDBs provide a safe, convenient way of splicing cables, splitting primary power into a variety of secondary circuits or providing a fixed junction tap-off point. end anchor .

Overview

The Mersen FSPDB Series (SKU: FSEA) offers a new standard in industrial power distribution with its IP20 finger-safe protection and effortless DIN rail mounting. These blocks eliminate the need for custom covers or Plexiglas sheets, ensuring touch-safe isolation of live parts through recessed termination screws and wire openings, compliant with IEC 529. Available in sizes 1 to 4, FSPDBs snap directly onto 35mm DIN rails, significantly reducing installation time and costs. Their compact, modular design allows for flexible single or multiple pole configurations, enabling the creation of smaller, higher-density panels. For multi-pole panel mounting, assembly pins are available, providing a rigid fit. FSPDBs are ideal for splicing cables, splitting primary power into multiple secondary circuits, or establishing fixed junction tap-off points. Key features include captive metric wire termination screws that cannot be lost, and optional accessories like cap plugs for unused openings and circuit identification markers. Ratings include 1500VAC/DC for FSPDB1, 2, 3 and 600VAC/DC for FSPDB4, 5, with current ratings from 175 to 840A. They hold UL Recognized Component and CSA Certified approvals. The FSPDB Series is designed for efficient and safe power management in control panels and electrical enclosures.
