It uses a 3-wall (tri) barrier construction with screws and captive plates on top for wire clamping, and PC pins on the bottom for soldering into a through-hole PCB. The 0.438\" (11.12 mm) pitch gives enough spacing to handle the 30 A per-circuit rating without tracking between adjacent terminals — a common failure point on tighter-pitch power blocks. ## Wire Range and Current — Matching the Conductor to the Load The 8PCV-04-006 accepts wire from 10 AWG down to 18 AWG. At 30 A, the terminal is sized for a 10 AWG copper conductor running at its full ampacity — anything smaller derates the usable current below the block's rating. The screw with captive plate bears directly on the conductor, so stranded wire needs a ferrule if the installation sees vibration; the zinc-plated steel screw resists corrosion in industrial cabinet environments. The 600 V rating is the maximum voltage between adjacent circuits or to ground, typical for motor control panels and power distribution blocks inside a UL 508A enclosure. ## Mounting and Termination — Through-Hole PC Pins This is a permanent connection; the block is not designed for repeated removal from the board.","metaTitle":"TE 8PCV-04-006 Barrier Strip, 4 Circuit, 0.438\" Pitch, 30 A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity Buchanan 8PCV-04-006 barrier block, 4 circuits, 0.438\" pitch, 30 A, 600 V, 10-18 AWG, screws with captive plate, PC pin termination, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"#8, Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Terminal Blocks","Barrier Terminal Blocks"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Black","Pitch":"0.438\\\" (11.12mm)","Series":"#8, Buchanan","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Wire Gauge":"10-18 AWG","Barrier Type":"3 Wall (Tri)","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"600V","Top Termination":"Screws with Captive Plate","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Bottom Termination":"PC Pin","Number of Circuits":"4","Base Product Number":"8PCV","Terminal Block Type":"Barrier Block","Current Rating (Amps)":"30A","Material - Insulation":"Thermoplastic","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 120°C","Terminal Screw Finish":"Zinc","Number of Wire Entries":"4","Terminal Screw Material":"Steel","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.0700","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$3.07000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.73700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.72280","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$2.69480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.42950","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$2.41556","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$2.23406","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.99669","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$1.73139","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What wire gauge does 8PCV-04-006 accept?","answer":"The 8PCV-04-006 accepts wire from 10 AWG down to 18 AWG.
