Tyco Electronics has introduced a new line of high-rise dual-barrier strips for PCB mounted applications. Moulded to length with a 8.25mm centreline, the Buchanan barrier strips feature a unique high-rise design which allows for space saving dual-level wire entry on congested PCBs. High-rise dual-barrier strips provide captive screws in a wire-ready position and, in addition to the 2-16 positions available, can be equipped with various accessories, such as quick-connect tabs and jumpers.
Further, the high rise dual-barrier strips meet the UL and CSA standards of 20A, 300V AC/DC while accommodating solid or stranded wire ranging from 12-22AWG.
The devices' insulator body is composed of a UL94V-0 thermoplastic, which, along with the brass, tin-plated terminal, delivers an effective operating temperature range of -40 to +105C.
Mechanically, the high-rise dual-barrier strips feature combination drive screws with number-2 Phillips recess and standard slot.
All these features make Tyco Electronics' Buchanan high-rise dual-barrier strips highly suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including industrial controls, test equipment, HVAC and power supplies. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics UK....
