The 0.250\" (6.35mm) pitch spaces the two terminals wide enough for 18-22 AWG wire with a screw-clamp termination, while the through-hole PC pins anchor the block to the board. Rated 10A at 300V, it handles control-signal and low-power distribution duty inside industrial cabinets, HVAC panels, and appliance enclosures. ## Termination and Wire Handling This is a field-service detail: a technician replacing a wire on a live panel does not hunt for a loose washer. Wire range is 18-22 AWG, which covers common control wiring like TFFN, THHN, and MTW. The terminal screw is steel with a zinc finish, giving adequate corrosion resistance for dry indoor environments. ## Barrier Design and Isolation The 3 Wall (Tri) barrier creates three insulating walls between adjacent terminals — one centre wall and two end walls. This increases creepage distance compared to a single-wall or open-barrier design, which matters for the 300V rating when wires are routed close together. The tri-wall also helps guide the screwdriver blade and prevents accidental shorting to an adjacent terminal during termination.","metaTitle":"TE Buchanan 3PCV-02-006 Barrier Block, 2 Circuit","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan #3 series barrier strip, 2 circuits, 0.250\" pitch, 10A at 300V.
