Application
The panel and chassis mounted series are ideal for connecting electrical control panels to external power sources, signal sources, other electrical panels
and electrical loads of many types and sizes. The electrical panel's or electrical enclosure's internal components and circuitry are connected to their
appropriate external electrical circuitry through these terminal blocks. The screw tightened connections result in high contact forces thus promoting
safe wire secureness and retention, low electrical resistance and safe reusable connections. All wire retention screws are captive in their towers and
they cannot fall out during transportation, installation and use. Wire protectors are available to protect small gauge stranded wires from screw damage.
These terminal strips can be completely enclosed within the enclosures or be placed at an enclosure opening with one side accessible for external
cabling and the other for internal wiring. They can be specially marked to your specifications.

SECTION C - SERIES 300
Terminal Strips for Panel / Chassis Mounting
Series 300 terminal strips are designed to provide a secure wire clamping termination that meets all
applicable European standards. The use of a shrouded molding design as well as captive screws are
part of a "finger-safe" Euro-style design. As manufacturers globalize their product lines, they are
simplifying their inventory by making products that use termination systems that are acceptable
everywhere.
The strips are available with stainless steel spring-type wire protectors (HDS designation) to
prevent wiring damage by the clamping screws we recommend the use of the wire protector option
especially for stranded wiring. The HDS option provides high resistance to vibrations. The 300
series provides long lasting, vibration-resistant terminations for current loads of up to 85A.
Some of the series carry an N designation indicating they have a lower profile when space is a
concern. The FU designation provides a raised base that facilitates wire insertion under cramped
conditions.
The relatively flexible polyamide molding can be mounted on uneven surfaces the North American
style barrier strips are usually made of a more rigid and brittle thermoset material.
Each product has a "How To Order" area as well as a complete listing of UL and CSA approval
specifications, available options and accessories.
