Why Choose the TE Connectivity DBL160 Power Distribution Block?
The TE Connectivity DBL160 (1SNL316010R0000) is a compact, high-current single-pole power distribution block designed for efficient distribution of electrical power within industrial control panels, switchgear and machinery. Part of the TE Connectivity ENTRELEC DBL series, it combines screw-clamp connection technology with a space-saving design for reliable power distribution in professional electrical installations.
The DBL160 provides eight connection positions on a single electrical circuit, allowing one incoming power connection to be distributed efficiently to multiple outgoing conductors. Its modular configuration helps replace conventional copper-bar distribution arrangements while simplifying wiring and reducing the number of separate fastening and insulating components required within an enclosure.
With a 160 A IEC and UL current rating, voltage ratings up to 1000 V AC / 1500 V DC according to IEC and copper conductor capacity up to 70 mm², the DBL160 is suitable for demanding industrial power distribution applications. Its grey polyamide housing and DIN rail mounting capability provide a compact and practical solution for high-current panel wiring.

Compact High-Current Distribution for Industrial Panels
Power distribution blocks provide a central connection point for dividing an incoming supply between multiple outgoing conductors. The DBL160 combines eight connection positions within a single-pole assembly, allowing panel builders to create organised power distribution arrangements without relying on larger conventional copper-bar assemblies and their associated fastening and insulating components.
The DBL160 is designed for high-current industrial circuits and provides a 160 A IEC rating together with 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC IEC voltage capability. Its screw-clamp connections, DIN rail mounting and compact 28.2 mm spacing make it suitable for control panels where dependable power distribution and efficient use of enclosure space are important.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- Main and branch power distribution circuits.
- Machine building and OEM electrical systems.
- Automation and process control cabinets.
- Power distribution within manufacturing equipment.
