What This 18-Circuit Barrier Block Brings to a Power Distribution Board
The TE Connectivity Buchanan 6PCV-18-007 is an 18-circuit barrier terminal strip from the #6 series, designed for through-hole mounting with PC pin solder tails. The three-wall (tri) barrier design physically separates adjacent terminals, which reduces the chance of a screwdriver bridging circuits during wiring.
Wire Gauge and Termination — What Fits and How It Connects
The block accepts 12-22 AWG stranded or solid wire terminated under steel screws with zinc clear chromate finish. The single row of 18 wire entries matches the circuit count one-to-one — no shared terminals, each circuit gets its own screw. Operating temperature is rated to 105°C, so this block is comfortable inside a warm cabinet or near a transformer.
