9-Circuit Barrier Block for Power Distribution
The TE Connectivity 6PCR-09-006 is a 9-circuit barrier strip from the #6, Buchanan series, designed for point-to-point power wiring in control panels, industrial equipment, and power supplies. The 0.375" (9.53 mm) pitch gives enough terminal spacing to land 12-22 AWG wire comfortably with a standard screwdriver, while the 25 A per-circuit rating handles branch circuits and load feeders without derating at the 105°C operating ceiling.
The three-wall barrier design isolates each terminal from adjacent circuits, reducing the chance of a screwdriver shorting across terminals during wiring.
What the 25 A and 300 V Ratings Mean for Your Panel
For a 9-circuit block, that is 225 A total across all terminals if evenly loaded — but the limiting factor is the wire gauge: 12 AWG is the largest the block accepts, and 12 AWG at 25 A is a standard NEC branch-circuit rating. The 300 V rating covers 120/240 VAC single-phase and 125 VDC control buses without headroom concerns, but the block is not rated for 480 VAC three-phase panels. The UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing means the block can be installed inside an enclosure without a separate flame-retardant barrier.
