What it is and where it sits in the Beau 38780 series
The Molex 387800306 is the 6-circuit member of the Beau 38780 dual-wall barrier strip family — a 2-row chassis and panel-mount terminal block sized for power-distribution and control-panel wiring in industrial automation and equipment build. Rated 15 A per circuit at 300 V; the UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing carries the thermal headroom for panel environments where adjacent components generate heat.
Wire entry and termination
The block accepts 14–22 AWG conductors — the captive plate on the top screw termination keeps the wire captive under vibration, so the joint does not loosen on a live panel the way a hand-tight screw can. Twelve wire entries across two rows give a single entry per circuit — each position is a dedicated termination point with no shared common slots, which makes circuit identity clear during panel checkout and field troubleshooting. The bottom is closed, which means no standoffs are needed for through-panel wiring — the block seats flat against the panel face, a detail that simplifies enclosure design for sealed or wash-down equipment.
Against the Eurostyle 39100 peers
Neither peer is a direct second-source for the 387800306 — the Beau 38780 series is the correct family to search for alternate position counts in the same pitch and form factor.
