Why Choose the Cembre 2843720 DB40-15/2 Two Pole Distribution Block?
The Cembre 2843720 DB40-15/2 is a compact two-pole power distribution block designed to provide safe and organised electrical power distribution within industrial control panels, switchboards and automation systems. As part of the proven Cembre DBLOCK series, it enables multiple outgoing circuits to be supplied from two incoming conductors while maintaining secure and reliable electrical connections.
Rated for an operating current of 40 A, the DB40-15/2 features two incoming terminals and 15 outgoing terminals. Its compact design helps reduce panel space requirements while simplifying wiring and improving accessibility during installation and maintenance. Captive screws and easy-entry conductor openings allow quick and dependable cable termination.
The conductor body is manufactured from electrolytically tin-plated brass to provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. A halogen-free Polyamide PA6.6 housing with a self-extinguishing UL94 V0 rating provides excellent insulation and long service life, making the DB40-15/2 suitable for demanding industrial environments.
