Barrier Strips
Tri-Barriers
DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION
TRI-BARRIER STRIPS
The Tri-Barrier product is an original
Thomas & Betts design and we set
new terminal block standards with its
introduction. In recent years, some of
our competition has copied this
design.
Its easy to see why were copied.
Our Tri-Barrier blocks help contain
stray or frayed wire ends. This
prevents electrical shorts not only
between positions on the same
block, but also between other
components immediately adjacent to
the block. With todays high-density
PCB designs, this has become an
increasingly important feature.
APPLICATIONS
Industrial controls and automation
Machine tools
HVAC/R
Power supplies
Security/Irrigation
