What it is
The Molex 387216708 is an 8-circuit single-row barrier terminal block in the Beau 38721 series, rated 15 A per circuit at 300 V with a 0.375-inch (9.53 mm) pitch. Wire entry is 14–22 AWG; top termination is a screw clamp and bottom termination is a 0.187-inch quick-connect tab, insulated. The black housing is glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate rated UL94 V-0, operated over −40 °C to 100 °C.
Mounting and panel fit
The flange feature provides a secure anchoring point for chassis or panel mounting, and the dual-wall (2-wall) barrier construction keeps adjacent circuits isolated under load — relevant when the 15 A rating carries into a live busbar or power-distribution panel. Eight wire-entry positions are arranged in a single row, so the physical footprint is set by the 0.375-inch pitch multiplied by seven gaps: plan the panel cutout accordingly.
Lifecycle and compliance
The product is Active and ROHS3 Compliant with no EOL notice or last-time-buy date listed. The zinc clear-chromate screw finish is adequate for indoor industrial environments; for humid or outdoor panels verify the chromate treatment meets the application's corrosion class.
