It carries a 0.438\" (11.12 mm) pitch — wide enough to handle 14-22 AWG wire comfortably without crowding adjacent circuits — and is rated 15 A at 300 V. The dual-wall barrier design (2 Wall (Dual)) gives physical isolation between terminals, so a stray screwdriver or loose wire across two positions won't short the circuit. The black PBT insulation is rated for the full -40°C to 100°C operating range, which covers most industrial cabinet and control panel environments. The 0.438\" (11.12 mm) pitch sets the centre-to-centre spacing between terminal positions — on a panel layout, that's the dimension you drill or route around. Two circuits at this pitch take up about an inch of board edge, leaving room for a flange on each end (the Features field lists Flange) for screw-down mounting to a chassis or panel. The dual-wall barrier between terminals gives you the creepage distance for the 300 V rating without needing an oversized housing. The 387409704 is the 4-circuit version of the same Beau 38740 series — same 0.438\" (11.12 mm) pitch, same 15 A / 300 V rating, same dual-wall barrier and flange. The only functional difference is the circuit count: 2 positions on the 387406102 versus 4 on the 387409704. The 4-circuit block uses a solder turret bottom termination instead of the PC pin on the 2-circuit version, so the board footprint changes — the turrets are made for wire-wrap or soldered hook-up leads, not for through-hole PCB insertion. If your BOM calls for a 2-position block with PC pins for a PCB, the 387406102 is the match; the 387409704 is a different termination style for a different wiring method.","metaTitle":"Molex Beau 38740 387406102, 2-Circuit Barrier Strip 0.438\" Pitch","metaDescription":"Molex Beau 38740 barrier strip, 2 circuits, 0.438\" (11.12 mm) pitch, 15 A, 300 V, screw/PC pin termination.
