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.
