Busbar fork connector 1P 80A 16 mm² Legrand BI1/16 12 modules (607045)

One‑pole fork busbar connector designed by Legrand for modular distribution boards. The BI1/16 model provides a fork-type terminal for secure connection of a single conductor, rated for continuous current up to 80 A and suitable for conductors with cross-section up to 16 mm². It is intended to occupy 12 standard mounting modules and is compatible with typical residential and light commercial electrical panels where compact, reliable busbar connections are required.

Advantages

The connector delivers a compact, single-pole fork termination that helps organize wiring inside distribution boards while maintaining electrical continuity and mechanical stability. Its rated current and conductor size support common circuit flows without oversized components. The modular footprint reduces space requirements and simplifies installation when multiple connections are needed in limited panel space.

Suitable for

• Connecting outgoing or incoming conductors to distribution busbars in residential panels
• Linking breakers or modular distribution elements where a fork-type termination is preferred
• Light commercial electrical installations with multicircuit distribution panels
• Retrofit or replacement of busbar connectors in confined panel layouts

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Rated current: 80 A
• Conductor cross-section compatibility: up to 16 mm²
• Termination type: fork (spade) connector
• Mounting footprint: 12 modular units
• Typical application: modular DIN-rail distribution boards

How to use

Mount the connector in the designated modular slots of the distribution board and ensure it is aligned with the corresponding busbar or breaker terminal. Prepare the conductor by stripping insulation to the appropriate length for the fork terminal, then insert the conductor under the fork and secure with the appropriate screw or clamp according to the panel’s fastening method. Verify that all connections are tightened to the torque values recommended for the panel hardware and that no conductor strands are exposed beyond the terminal.

Usage recommendations

Use the connector only within its rated current and conductor size limits. Confirm compatibility with the distribution board and breaker terminals before installation, and follow local electrical codes. For safety and reliable operation, perform final tightening and inspection with the power de-energized and, if in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
