Series position and block type
The Beau 386306403 is the 3-circuit member of the Beau 38630 barrier-strip series — a single-row, dual-wall block sized for panel and through-hole PCB mount in industrial control and power-distribution applications. The block carries 0.438 inch (11.12 mm) pitch, 3 circuits, and a 25 A per-circuit rating at 600 V — that current headline sits comfortably within the range for 12–24 AWG wire in power interconnect duty. Top termination is screw-type; bottom termination is a PC pin designed for through-hole reflow or wave-solder to a PCB — the block therefore acts as a panel-feedthrough in a hybrid harness-to-board stack.
Mechanical build and panel fit
The flange on each end of the block provides a reinforced mounting point that resists vibration loosening at the panel face — the through-hole legs and flange together define the attachment envelope the panel designer must accommodate. Insulation body is rated Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT); terminal screws are zinc with clear chromate over steel — adequate corrosion protection for enclosed-panel environments, though the spec table does not list a UL flame class for this particular member. The dual-wall (2-wall) barrier construction provides finger-safe shrouding between adjacent live terminals on the top (screw) side — the barrier height, combined with the 0.438 inch pitch, is what the panel cutout spacing must respect.
Sourcing and lifecycle
Listed Active with ROHS3 Compliant status — no official successor or cross-reference is listed for this order code. No comparison section is warranted: the available peers (Eurostyle 39100 series) belong to a different connector family — their pitch, circuit arrangement, and current ratings are incompatible as panel-drop substitutes.
