Product details

Barrier Strip for High-Current Panel Wiring

The Molex 389690005 is a 5-circuit barrier strip from the 38969 series, designed for through-hole board mounting with PC-pin bottom termination. It uses a 3-wall (tri) barrier construction with top-entry screws and captive plates, accepting 8-20 AWG wire. The 0.500" (12.70 mm) pitch gives enough creepage for the 600 V rating without forcing an oversized board footprint — standard spacing for power distribution terminal blocks in industrial control panels and power supply assemblies.

50 A per Circuit — Bus-Level Current Capacity

The steel terminal screws with nickel finish and the PBT insulation rated UL94 V-0 support continuous duty in equipment inside an enclosure. Operating temperature range -40°C ~ 120°C covers industrial cabinet and outdoor telecom environments.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pitch on the 389690005?

The pitch is 0.500" (12.70 mm), which provides generous creepage for the 600 V rating and matches standard power-block spacing for panel-mount layouts.

Will the 389690005 drop into a panel specified around the 389690004?

Yes — the 389690004 (4 circuits) and 389690005 (5 circuits) share the same 0.500" pitch, 50 A rating, 600 V rating, 8-20 AWG wire range, and 3-wall barrier design. The only difference is the number of wire entries, so the footprint and terminal layout are compatible.

Where can I buy the 389690005 and get a price?

The 389690005 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your BOM quantity.

What compliance documentation does the 389690005 carry?

It is ROHS3 compliant and the PBT housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The operating temperature range is -40°C ~ 120°C.
