The 0.375\" (9.53 mm) pitch gives each circuit enough physical separation to handle the 20 A rating at 300 V without tracking between terminals — a common failure point on tighter-pitch blocks when the load is continuous. The dual-wall barrier design (2 Wall) adds creepage distance between adjacent terminals, which matters when the strip lives in a panel with 24/7 current draw and the insulation resistance needs to stay high over years of thermal cycling. Termination uses screws with captive plate on top — the plate stays captured in the screw, so there is no loose washer to drop into the panel during wiring. Wire range covers 12-22 AWG, which covers most control-circuit and moderate-power field wiring in industrial cabinets. On a 0.325\" or 0.300\" pitch strip, 20 A would push the temperature rise close to the insulation limit in a still-air cabinet. The wider pitch here gives thermal headroom — the heat from each terminal has room to dissipate before it reaches the adjacent circuit. For a 5-circuit strip carrying 20 A on every position, the total heat load is about 10-15 W depending on contact resistance; the pitch and the polyamide housing handle that without the strip becoming a hot spot inside the enclosure. The 300 V rating is line-to-line on the strip, not line-to-ground. In a typical 120/240 VAC control panel, that is adequate for phase-to-phase wiring on a single strip. If the application runs 480 V phase-to-phase, this strip is not the right choice — the 300 V rating is the limit between adjacent circuits.","metaTitle":"NC6-P108-05 Buchanan Barrier Strip, 5 Circuit, 0.375\" Pitch","metaDescription":"NC6-P108-05 Buchanan NC6 barrier strip, 5 circuits, 0.375\" pitch, 20 A, 300 V, screws with captive plate, PC pin termination, UL94 V-0, -40°C to 105°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"NC6, Buchanan","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Terminal Blocks","Barrier Terminal Blocks"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Black","Pitch":"0.375\\\" (9.53mm)","Series":"NC6, Buchanan","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Wire Gauge":"12-22 AWG","Barrier Type":"2 Wall (Dual)","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"300V","Top Termination":"Screws with Captive Plate","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Bottom Termination":"PC Pin","Number of Circuits":"5","Base Product Number":"NC6","Terminal Block Type":"Barrier Block","Current Rating (Amps)":"20A","Material - Insulation":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Terminal Screw Finish":"Zinc","Number of Wire Entries":"5","Terminal Screw Material":"Steel","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$4.3300","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.33000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.85900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.83960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.80020","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.42610","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$3.40644","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.15046","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.81572","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/NC6-P108-05/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is NC6-P108-05 compatible with standard 0.375\" pitch barrier strips?","answer":"Yes. The 0.375\" (9.53 mm) pitch is the standard Buchanan NC6 spacing, so it matches existing NC6-series footprints and any panel layout designed for that pitch. The five circuits and single-row layout mean it drops into a board pattern drilled for a 5-position 0.375\" barrier strip without modification."},{"question":"Can NC6-P108-05 be used with 12 AWG wire?","answer":"Yes. The wire range is 12-22 AWG, so 12 AWG stranded or solid fits under the captive plate. The screw torque should be set per the manufacturer's recommendation for the wire size — overtightening 12 AWG can cold-flow the conductor under the plate."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/NC6-P108-05","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/NC6-P108-05 when reusing this data.
