What is mounting hardware?
A hardware kit, “link kit” or “finger kit”, is necessary to mount circuit breakers into most panelboards. The hardware kit makes the electrical connection between the circuit breaker and the vertical bus. Most hardware kits include everything that is needed to mount the circuit breaker safely into the specified panel including brackets to secure the circuit breaker and device plates to cover the live components once installed.

I-Line Panelboards
While most panelboards and switchboards require hardware there are some designs which do not. One popular such design is Square D’s series of I-Line panelboards. These panelboards use a “plug-in” design for branch devices rated up to 1200A and 600V.
Many facilities across the country installs this unique design from past decades and now. It has some great benefits including ease of installation and backwards compatibility across multiple vintages and generations making it simple to bring new technology to a dated panel.
