High-rise dual-barrier strips save space on congested PCBs

19 April 2006 Interconnection

Tyco Electronics has introduced a new line of high-rise dual-barrier strips for PCB mounted applications.

Moulded to length with a 8,25 mm 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 through 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 20 A, 300 V AC/DC while accommodating solid or stranded wire ranging from 12-22 AWG. The devices' insulator body is composed of a UL 94V-0 thermoplastic, which, along with the brass, tin-plated terminal, delivers an effective operating temperature range of -40 to 105°C. Mechanically, the high-rise dual-barrier strips feature combination drive screws with #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.
