Why Choose the Cembre 2843705 DB160-7/1N Single Pole Distribution Block?

The Cembre 2843705 DB160-7/1N is a heavy-duty single-pole power distribution block designed to provide safe, organised and efficient power distribution within industrial control panels, switchboards and power distribution assemblies. Part of the trusted Cembre DBLOCK series, it enables a single incoming conductor to be distributed to multiple outgoing circuits while maintaining secure, low-resistance electrical connections.

With a rated current of 160 A, the DB160-7/1N features one incoming connection and seven outgoing terminals, making it ideal for machine builders, panel manufacturers and electrical contractors requiring reliable power distribution. The conductor body is manufactured from electrolytically tin-plated brass, providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the halogen-free Polyamide PA6.6 housing ensures high mechanical strength and electrical insulation.

Designed for installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, the distribution block incorporates captive screws, chamfered conductor entry holes and a transparent protective cover for fast installation, simple inspection and dependable long-term performance within industrial environments.
