Single-Pole Power Distribution Block
The Bussmann 16204-1 is a single-pole power distribution block rated for 175 A at 600 V AC/DC. It accepts copper or aluminium conductors from 14 AWG up to 2/0 AWG on both the line and load sides, making it suitable for industrial control panels and heavy-duty electrical installations.
Open-Design Installation Notes
The open construction allows direct access to the connection points, so wiring is straightforward with standard hand tools. Because there is no insulating cover, installers must maintain proper clearance to grounded surfaces and ensure all terminations are torqued correctly to prevent hot spots on the exposed conductive parts.
Pre-Order Compatibility Checks
Verify that your panel layout provides at least 1.71 in. of depth for the block body and that the available wire gauge falls within the 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG range. Confirm the system voltage does not exceed 600 V AC/DC and that the expected load current stays within the 175 A copper rating before ordering.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the block is carrying its rated 175 A after installation?
Measure the voltage drop across each connection while the circuit is under load; a low, stable millivolt reading indicates the 175 A path is sound.
What hardware is included with the 16204-1 block and what must I source separately?
The block itself is supplied; you must provide 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper conductors and suitable lugs or ferrules for the line and load sides.
Which version of this single-pole block should I select for a 600 V, 175 A panel?
The 16204-1 is the only version listed — it is rated 175 A at 600 V AC/DC with one pole and 1.71 in. depth, so it matches that requirement directly.
