Eurostrips are mounted quickly in pan-

els. Use standard screws or mounting

pins, offered as acces-

sories in this sec-

tion, or leave

them free floating

to completely elimi-

nate mounting.

What could be easier? Simply strip the

wire insulation, insert the wire and

tighten the screw to achieve a gas-

tight, electrically efficient connection—

every time. Wire lugs are eliminated,

saving material cost and installation

time.

Offered in easy to cut 12 pole strips, they

can also be ordered precut with the

required number of poles. Polyamide

housing can be cut with a utility knife

or hacksaw, providing flexibility to meet

changing needs. Because standard 12

pole strips can be so easily cut to the

required number of poles, stocking is

simplified and inventory is minimized.

The basis for the Eurostrip’s reliable

connection is a precision machined

tubular screw clamp insert made from

highly conductive copper alloy which is

nickel plated for maximum corrosion

resistance. The clamping screw

material is high

strength steel to pre-

vent screw head

breakage or thread

damage. This pro-

vides trouble

free operation.

Screws are electro-

galvanized and

bluechromated to provide corrosion

resistance. Optional nickel plated brass

screws may be ordered for highly corro-

sive environments or marine applica-

tions.

Standard Eurostrips feature stainless

steel wire protectors. Unlike wire pro-

tectors found in many competitive prod-

ucts which use copper alloy materials,

stainless steel has superior memory

characteristics. Accordingly, the wire

protector will return to its original posi-

tion even after repeated use. This

means trouble-free wire insertion and

quicker reconnections.

Eurostrip housings are injection molded

from self-extinguishing polyamide 6.6

molding material, possessing high

dielectric strength and excellent electri-

cal insulation and temperature resist-

ance. Each housing has been specially

designed to provide creepage and

clearance distances to achieve ratings

up to 600V. Choose low profile, flat

base housings for minimum clearance

applications (300V) or housings with

mounting feet for maximum voltage

isolation (600V).

External jumpers bus potentials

between poles on Eurostrips, eliminat-

ing wire jumpers and reducing wiring

time. Isolation partition increases

clearance between adjacent poles and

provides visual separation for more

efficient wiring. Mounting pins simpli-

fy installation and mounting of

Eurostrips. Simply drill the mounting

hole, position and install the pin from

underneath the panel. When correct

position is reached, pin will retain ter-

minal to panel.

Identify circuits and reduce wiring mis-

takes with marking plates. Order

plates imprinted or blank. Position

under or on top of a Eurostrip housing.

Imprinting Eurostrips reduces wiring

errors and helps to identify circuits.

Use Imprinting to mark individual poles

when high quantities are involved or

custom imprints are required.
