What it is
The Molex 387206312 is the 12-circuit member of the Beau 38720 barrier block series — a single-row terminal strip where each circuit accepts a screw-clamped wire entry on top and a PC pin on the bottom for through-hole board mount. Rated 15 A per circuit at 300 V, the 387206312 covers the wire range 14-22 AWG, with the 15 A ceiling sitting comfortably within the ampacity of the 14 AWG lower end of that range.
What the ratings mean
Where it sits in its series
The Beau 38720 series uses 0.375" pitch as its standard spacing across all position counts. The 387206312 is a 12-position single-row variant; the series covers lower and higher circuit counts within the same body style and termination geometry, so the board footprint and panel cut-out scale with position count while the pitch stays fixed. Black housing distinguishes this member from white-housed peers in other series families — colour is not a selection parameter but it confirms the series identity on a mixed panel where multiple terminal block families are present.
