What could be easier? Simply strip the

saving material cost and installation
time.
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.

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.
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.

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).
