The 0.375\" (9.53mm) pitch gives enough terminal-to-terminal creepage for the 300V rating without squeezing the wire entry. Three-wall (Tri) barriers between each position keep stripped conductors from shorting across adjacent terminals, which is the failure you see when someone stuffs a 12 AWG into a cheap open-frame strip and the strands fan out. Top termination uses screws with captive plate — the plate stays under the screw head so it doesn't drop into the chassis when you loosen it for re-termination. Bottom termination is PC pin, meaning the strip solders directly into a PCB. The flange at each end lets you bolt it to a panel or chassis for mechanical support, which matters when the wiring harness is heavy or the enclosure sees vibration. Wire range is 12-22 AWG, covering the most common power and control conductors in industrial panels. Operating temperature is 105°C, which gives headroom in a warm cabinet. ## Where the 25A Rating Actually Bites The 25A per circuit rating is the whole story here — this block is sized for branch-circuit power, not signal-level currents. At 25A continuous, the screw-and-captive-plate termination clamps the wire without cold flow, and the PC pin solder joint to the board must handle that current without becoming a fuse. The 0.375\" pitch means the PCB footprint is wider than a 0.200\" or 0.250\" pitch block, so confirm the board real estate before layout. ## Still in Production — Sourced per RFQ The product status is Active.","metaTitle":"6PCV-03-008 Buchanan Barrier Strip, 3 Circuit, 0.375\" Pitch","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 6PCV-03-008 barrier block, 3 circuits, 0.375\" pitch, 25A, 300V.
