Quick Reference Guide
Barrier Strips
Barrier strip style terminal blocks from TE Connectivity are available in 3 main categories: dual-barrier,
tri-barrier, and double row. Each category of barrier strip is offered in several industry standard centerline
spacings, allowing you to choose from high density to high current applications. Dual-barriers and
Tri-Barriers are very similar in that they are both offered with hardware which allows them to be used in
either PCB or panel mount applications.

Barrier Strips
Barrier Strips Overview (Types of Strips and Sockets)
Dual-Barrier
Two walls or barriers are molded to each side of the terminal
screw.
Wire Clamp Screws
The lower surface and edges of the clamping plates are
carefully designed to securely clamp the wire — with
combinations of different wire sizes — without severing
stranded wire. Extra care has been taken to produce these
components without burrs on any critical clamping surface or
edges.
Quality Plating
TE has been known for its plating, especially on the tin-
plated components, and has maintained stringent plating
specifications to provide a better performing, more reliable
product.
Tri-Barrier
Three walls or barriers surround each terminal screw.
The back wall safeguards field wiring. Image below:
Integral Standoffs
Standoffs help rid your PCB of any remaining corrosive
agents during rinsing operations. Helps prevent trapped
solutions in the immediate PC pin area. Significantly reduces
the risk of postwave corrosion problems.
Gas-Tight Connections
The acid-tin plating on your terminals means more than just
improved shelf-life and superior solderability. It is to provide
the very basis for the heart of your wire connections.
Customization
Double Row Barriers
Used in industrial controls and machine automation. Double
row barriers are used in panel mount and wire-to-wire
applications.
With the large number of hardware and contact options
available, combined with various accessories, the barrier strip
line can be customized for a wide variety of solutions for your
PCB and panel mount applications.
Captive Clamp
(Clamping Plate)
Binding Head
vs.
The captive clamp is designed to accept multiple wires
and wire gauges. With the captive clamp, you save time!
No need to loop the wire, you just strip & screw down
underneath the clamp. The clamp rides up and down with
the screw.
The binding head is designed to accept a single stripped
wire, looped under the screw head. The ideal use of the
binding head is in conjunction with terminated wires and
top side accessories (quick connects and jumpers).

Questions that will help you better select the product that you need:
Are you looking for a specific pin spacing?
TE offers barrier strips in both PCB and panel mount
configurations on the most common centerline spacings
ranging from 0.250"-0.4375".
Is your application for control wiring or for higher current
power connections?
For control wiring, you may desire a higher density product
such as # 3 Series Tri-Barrier or the 3DB dual-barrier. If you
need a barrier strip UL up to 600 volts, then try looking at the
SSB7 or #8 series products.
Would you like to use accessories such as flat, 45 degree or
90 degree quick connect tabs or jumper?
TE offers a wide range of accessories for each style of barrier
strip. Often times these accessories are pre-installed at our
factory for your convenience.
You may find these accessories at
www.te.com/products/barrierstrips
Does your application require the block to have special
mounting features?
With the many styles of barriers available you will be able to
find flat panel mounting versions as well as vertical and right
angle through panel products.
