Blog - Product Obsolescence

May 1st, 2023

As part of our product line simplification initiatives, Marathon Special Products will be discontinuing the “adder” option of our 132 Series power blocks that allows a partial terminal to be snapped onto an existing single, double or three pole version. Single, double and three pole versions remain active.

This affects all active and existing parts noted in the tables below. This product discontinuance is due to the low use of these versions, that are all functionally covered by the single pole of the same group/series. Single poles can be ganged together, or added onto an existing single, double or three pole version.

The alternatives listed below are functional replacements, with very little change to the overall fit. Additionally, it should be noted that in early 2024, the depth of this series will increase around .50 inches to upgrade the UL rating from recognized to Listed.

Products and Recommended Alternatives:
Catalog Number Form/Fit Alternative:
1320122 1321122
1320422 1321422
1320474 1321474
1320570 1321570
1320572 1321572
1320574 1321574
1320570 IH 1321570 IH
1320580 1321580
1320587 1321587
1320970 1321970
1320972 1321972

This change is effective 9/30/23. Your internal specifications and/or agency files may need to be updated to reflect this. All last time buys must be in hand by August 31st 2023
