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.

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.

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.

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.

NVENTORY
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.
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.
H
OUSINGS
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).
