Overview

The Mersen MPDB67111 is an open-style Power Distribution Block (PDB) engineered for high-current industrial power distribution, designed to meet the demands of modern electrical systems. This 1-pole PDB supports a primary input of 135A when using aluminum wire (2/0-14 AWG) or 175A when using copper wire (2/0-14 AWG), with secondary outputs rated up to 175A across 12 load-side openings (10-14 AWG). The tin-plated aluminum construction provides superior corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity, ensuring long-term performance in harsh industrial environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or varying temperatures is common. The block features a single line-side opening (2/0-14 AWG) and 12 load-side openings (10-14 AWG), allowing for flexible wiring configurations optimized for box-to-box connections. This design supports applications requiring cable splicing, power splitting, or fixed junction tap-off points, making it ideal for use in industrial control panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards. Part of Mersen’s intermediate-size PDB line, the MPDB67111 complements their miniature and large series offerings, available in both aluminum and copper materials to suit diverse application needs. This model is manufactured at Mersen’s German (DE) facilities, adhering to stringent quality control processes to ensure consistent performance and reliability. The open-style design enhances accessibility for installation and maintenance, while the tin-plated aluminum construction provides a balance of durability and electrical efficiency, making it a dependable choice for high-current industrial power distribution systems.

Special Features
Adder Poles: All sizes have optional adder poles for increased flexibility and ease-of-use. Adder poles can be stacked to form multi-pole units in the field without the use of tools. Adder poles allow for customization of primary and secondary wire combinations. End barriers are also available for sale, catalog numbers can be found in the catalog number selection tables for each size block. Wire Connectors: Standard aluminum and copper wire connectors are available. Aluminum connectors accept both AL or CU wire while copper connectors accept CU wire only. Connectors are all 1-piece tin-plated. Many part numbers are rated to accept DLO-type fine-strand wire, allowing users to connect flexible conductors. Insulators: Insulators are virtually unbreakable, made of glass-filled polycarbonate. “See-through,” hinged safety covers are optional and provide a greater degree of safety and shock resistance where required. Hinged covers can be installed without tools. Spacings: 1 inch through air and 2 inches over surface between uninsulated live parts of opposite polarity meets requirements for feeder and branch circuit applications of UL508A. Safety Covers: Polycarbonate safety covers provide dead-front protection. One cover is needed for each pole. Each cover has a test probe hole in the center for circuit checking. Covers are optional accessories and catalog numbers can be found in the catalog selection tables for each size block.
