Tyco Electronics has introduced high-rise dual-barrier strips for PCB mounted applications. Moulded to length with a 0.325 inch (8.25mm) centreline, the BUCHANAN barrier strips feature a design which allows for space saving dual-level wire entry on congested PCBs.

High-rise dual-barrier strips provide captive screws in a wire-ready position and, in addition to the 2 through 16 positions available, can be equipped with various accessories, such as quick-connect tabs and jumpers. Further, the high rise dual-barrier strips meet the UL and CSA standards of 20A, 300VAC/DC while accommodating solid or stranded wire ranging from 12-22AWG. The devices’ insulator body is composed of a UL 94V-0 thermoplastic, which, along with the brass, tin-plated terminal, delivers an effective operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Mechanically, the high-rise dual-barrier strips feature combination drive screws with #2 Phillips recess and standard slot.
