Product Facts
nNo Wire Crimping Required
tubular clamp contacts
hold wire ranging from #30
to #12 AWG better than
crimp-on terminals.
nSaves Installation Time and
Costs — tubular clamp
contacts are supplied with
captive screws backed out.
nNylon housing standard;
polypropylene for fire
retardant characteristics.
nPositive Stop — helps
prevent wire from being
inserted too far, and helps
prevent screw from being
tightened on insulation. Easy
access contact provides for
safe, reliable, and cost-
effective connection.
nQuick Installation and
Change — additional
sections may be added or
removed without removing
channel mounting screw.
nChoice of Five Mounting
Channels:
nMiniature aluminum
nZinc-plated steel
nPre-punched aluminum
nBreak-away steel
nSingle and Double Tier
blocks fit all standard
BUCHANAN mounting
channels. Single Tier blocks
fit both miniature and
standard channels.
nChoice of Marking Surfaces
matte-finish area for
marking directly on block;
slide-in vinyl strip (blank or
preprinted) also available.
LR25557 E63810
These miniature terminal
blocks fit on a much smaller
channel to save valuable
panel space or can be
surface mounted directly to
the panel. Miniature blocks
accept wire as large as #12
AWG and are available in
four styles: Miniature
(nylon), Miniature
(polypropylene), Single Tier
and Double Tier.

Physical Properties
Effect of Radiation on Physical
Properties
The effects of radiation (neutron and
gamma particles) on RYTON R-4
material have been studied. Since
RYTON, as an engineering plastic, may
fill applications in nuclear installations
these effects are important. The test
results show no effects on physical
properties by these relatively high
exposures to gamma and neutron
radiation. There is no indication from
these data of crosslinking or degradation
of the RYTON R-4 material.
Note: Determination of the suitability of
the ERT Series Blocks for particular
applications rests solely with customers.

Product Facts
nChoose from 5 different
contact styles.
n600 volt UL and NEMA
rating.
nConservatively rated from 50
to 90 amperes per circuit,
depending on which contact
style is selected.
nChoose any of three
mounting methods — two-
way flat base models surface
mount directly to the panel
or snap-on miniature
channel. Dovetail base
models mount on standard
channel.
nPackaged for rapid handling
and assembly — snap-fit
sections are packed 10 per
carton.
nOnly one end section needed
per block assembly.
nReadily identify circuits —
mark directly on block
sections or use removable
marking strip. Pre-printed
strips are also available.

Product Facts
nAn exceptionally compact
block that accepts single or
combinations of AWG wire
sizes as large as #1/0 — at
least 92 circuits per 6-foot
length, 3/4 inch center-to-
center spacing.
nTubular screw contact style
accepts AWG wire sizes from
#12 thru #1/0, solid or
stranded.
nSame block mounts on
surface or channel — two-
way mounting base fits
standard channel or mounts
directly to flat surfaces.
nPackaged for rapid handling
and assembly — snap-fit
sections packaged 10 per
carton.
nContacts conservatively
rated at 155 amperes per
circuit when used with
copper wire.
nOnly one end section needed
per block assembly.
nReadily identify circuits —
blocks available with painted
marking surface or use
removable vinyl marking
strip. Preprinted marking
strips are also available.
nFactory assembled blocks
available.
nNylon housing material for
the most rugged
applications.
nAllen head screw for
aluminum wire — screw tip
design helps protect
aluminum wire from
overtightening. Slotted
screw head for copper wire.
nIntermediate Heavy Duty
blocks snap-fit with 300 &
600V, Medium Duty
phenolic, Heavy Duty nylon,
polypropylene and phenolic
and Fuse and Switch blocks.

Product Facts
High Density Blocks
nFuse and Switch Blocks rated
15A and 300V.
nHigh Density 0.36" [9.14]
centerline spacing saves
panel space; at least 33
circuits per foot.
Fuse Blocks
nProvide in-line circuit
protection for virtually any
circuit or group of circuits —
select contacts for
terminated or unterminated
wire.
nRemove, check and replace
fuses safely and quickly —
switch action fuse blocks
open circuits before fuse can
be removed or installed.
nContacts conservatively
rated to 30 amperes.
Switch Blocks
nQuickly and easily interrupt a
circuit or group of circuits —
insert switch blocks directly
in line. Contacts available
for terminated or
unterminated wire.
nKeep circuits open for
extended periods — switch
blade can be removed
entirely from block for lock-
out protection.
nRated to 15 amperes.
Common Features of 300 &
0300 Series
nAt least 91 circuits per 6-foot
length, 3/4 inch center-to-
center spacing.
nBlocks meet 600 volt
clearance and creepage
spacings specified in UL,
CSA, and NEMA Industrial
Control Standards.
nChoose nylon housing
material — for more rugged
applications; polypropylene
for fire retardant
characteristics.
nDovetail base fits standard
mounting channel — can
also be mounted on flat
surfaces.
nOnly one end section needed
per block assembly.
nReadily identify circuits —
mark directly on white,
matte-surface puller
assembly, marking tab on
block, or use removable
marking tape.
nOpen or close several
circuits simultaneously —
holes in puller handles allow
use of nylon “ganging” rods.
nFuse and Switch block
sections snap-fit with 300 &
600 Volt, phenolic Medium
Duty, Heavy Duty, and
Intermediate Heavy Duty
blocks.

Marking Strip Installed
On A Factory-Assembled Terminal Block
Circuit identification is
greatly simplified with the
use of pre-printed strips for
BUCHANAN terminal
blocks. These hot-stamped
strips are available for all
snap-assembled sections
(except Fuse, Switch, and
Circuit Breaker models
which are marked
individually). The strips can
be ordered separately or
pre-installed on factory
assembled sectional block
units.
Unlike painted or screened
letters, hot-stamped letters
are designed to not rub or
flake off during industrial
use so that they will retain
their legibility.
Marking strips are stamped
with consecutive numbers
that can be ordered to read
from left-to-right or right-to-
left, and in vertical or
horizontal positions.
Number sequences can
begin with any number.
This allows circuits to be
identified in a manner most
consistent with the terminal
block application.

BUCHANAN Terminal Blocks
UL 1059 Basic Voltage Rating
Voltage ratings of terminal blocks are based on the minimum spacing between electrical conductive parts of opposite
polarity or between an electrically conductive part and a metal mounting surface measured under two conditions: Through
Air, defined as the distance an arc must take through the air to go from one live conductor to another or from a live
conductor to ground; and Over Surface, defined as the distance an arc must take over a surface of the insulating material
going from one terminal to ground, assuming the arc will travel along the surface rather than through the air. The following
chart shows UL 1059 spacing requirements in inches.
