What this part is
The Beau 387068012 is a dual-wall barrier strip in the Beau 38706 series — six circuits in two rows, 0.325-inch (8.26 mm) pitch, rated 20 A per circuit at 300 V. Top termination is a screw clamp; the bottom terminates to a PC pin for through-hole board mounting. The housing is black PBT, the barrier walls are the 2-wall dual style, and it accepts 12-22 AWG wire across 12 wire-entry slots — two per circuit. Zinc-clear-chromate-plated steel terminal screws clamp the conductor.
What the ratings mean for your fit
Wire gauge 12-22 AWG is the rated range per — a 12 AWG landing will saturate the 20 A per-circuit rating, while 22 AWG leaves headroom. Confirm your PCB layout matches the PC-pin bottom footprint before committing the BOM line.
Where barrier strips like this go
Beau barrier strips are used across industrial control panels, power distribution blocks, and process automation cabinets — anywhere a maintenance technician needs to land field wiring with a screwdriver and see the connection clearly. The screw-top entry with two slots per circuit (one per row) keeps the wire fully seated under the clamp without a ferrule, and the black PBT housing holds up to the thermal and chemical environment inside an enclosure better than a commodity nylon. They are not sealed — use a proper enclosure rating if the environment demands IP65 or above.
Not a direct drop-in for the Eurostyle 39100
The Eurostyle 39100 series (0391002012, 0391002502) shares the screw-top dual-wall concept but that is where the fit ends. The 0391002012 runs 0.394-inch pitch at 600 V and 30 A — the spacing, voltage class, and current rating are all higher, and the color is white, not black. The 0391002502 is even further out: 0.591-inch pitch, 63 A, 2 circuits only. Neither Eurostyle part matches the 0.325-inch footprint, the 300 V rating, or the 6-circuit count of the 387068012. A panel cut for one of those will not accept this Beau strip without a layout respin — the pitch difference alone rules a direct swap.
Active and compliant — no sourcing surprises
The 387068012 carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant, so there is no last-time-buy risk on the horizon. It ships in bulk packaging, not on tape — order quantities align with panel-build runs rather than high-volume reel schedules. No UL or VDE rating appears in the listing, so if your end equipment requires a specific agency approval, confirm that against the datasheet before specifying it into a regulated product. For everything else, it is a straightforward BOM line: six positions, 0.325-inch pitch, screw-top, PC-pin bottom — match those four facts to your panel layout and you are clear to quote.
