Beau 38630 — 2-circuit barrier strip
The Molex 386307802 is a 2-circuit dual-wall barrier terminal block in the Beau 38630 series, rated 25 A per circuit at 600 V with a 0.438" (11.12 mm) pitch and black PBT housing. Top termination is screws with a captive plate — the plate clamps the conductor under the screw head without requiring a ferrule, which speeds field wiring on 12-24 AWG solid or stranded wire. Bottom termination is a PC pin sized for through-hole board mount. The dual-wall barrier construction adds mechanical strength to the slot geometry compared to a single-wall open-bar design, which matters in panel environments where vibration or rough handling can walk a loose wire free if the screw tension is disturbed.
What the ratings mean for your fit
25 A per circuit at 600 V covers most industrial control-panel branch circuits at that voltage — the limiting factor for wire entry is the 12-24 AWG window, which excludes heavy feeder cable but handles the majority of control wiring gauges. PBT insulation carries a wider temperature range than polycarbonate and resists moisture better in panel-mount environments, though the operating limit for this specific part should be confirmed from the product drawing for high-ambient or户外 applications.
Lifecycle and sourcing
386307802 carries Active lifecycle status and ROHS3 Compliant designation — no obsolescence notice or last-time-buy flag on record. No official successor or cross-reference order code is listed for this part, which means sourcing is against the exact Beau 38630 series line — confirm your BOM position count and the captive-plate top termination before quoting, as alternative barrier-strip families in this rating class use different screw-plates and pitches that do not drop in without panel rework.
