Conductor termination
State conductor size, solid or stranded construction and whether bare wire, ferrules, OT or UT terminals will be used. Confirm the permitted preparation for the exact model.
Terminal Strips & Barrier Blocks
Manufacturer
Screw terminal strips, barrier blocks and compact equipment connectors for fixed wiring. Compare the YC series with CM1, TB, TC and TD panel terminals by entry direction, pole count, conductor range and mounting dimensions.

Choose the terminal structure
| Construction | Selection focus | Series reference |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-position screw strips | H, U(W), V(F), flexible, Bakelite, double-line and T-side structures. Compare insulation material, pitch and pole arrangement in the individual model table. | YC001–YC009 |
| Compact equipment terminals | Unipolar strips, one-side entry, single- and double-screw connectors, and two-pole formats. Match wire access and the actual fixing footprint. | YC012–YC016 |
| Lighting & ballast connections | Two- and three-pole terminals, high-base blocks, French-type and ballast connectors. Select the exact connection layout rather than assuming equivalent fit. | YC018–YC022 |
| Panel strips & barrier blocks | CM1, TB/TBC, TC and TD provide panel connection arrangements with individual pole counts and mounting methods. A rail-mount option does not make a complete barrier strip interchangeable with UK modular terminals. | CM1 · TB/TBC · TC · TD |
Match the wire entry and fixing footprint.
Choose the model by its complete specification, not by overall length or current rating alone.
Pole count & circuit layout
Specify the required isolated positions and entry direction. Do not assume a strip's positions form a common distribution bar.
Mounting & clearance
Check fixing centres, strip pitch, base height, cover clearance and screw access. Use the selected product drawing for panel preparation.
Ratings & material
Verify current, voltage and temperature in the same model specification. Bakelite, flexible plastic and other housings do not share one range-wide temperature rating.

Terminal Strips & Barrier Blocks
buying questions.
What is the difference between a terminal strip and a barrier block?
Terminal strips arrange multiple connections in a shared body. Barrier blocks use insulating barriers between connection positions. The exact clamping method, cover and mounting arrangement depend on the product.
Does TB mean a UK-style DIN rail terminal?
No. The TB/TBC products listed here are plate-screw terminal blocks. UK screw-clamp modular terminals belong to the separate DIN Rail Terminal Blocks family. Product structure matters more than the letters in its name.
Where are YC010 and YC011?
Their detachable plug-in strip construction belongs to the Pluggable Terminal Blocks family. They are not listed here simply because they share the YC prefix.
Where are the ceramic and PPS models?
YC023 ceramic and YC024 PPS products are grouped under High Temperature Terminal Blocks. Their temperature and electrical ratings must be checked separately.
Can I use a series maximum current for every size?
No. Current, voltage, conductor range and dimensions vary by model. Select all required values from the same product row.
Are screw strips intended for repeated plug-in disconnection?
Not unless the product has a specified mating interface. For detachable strip connections, compare the YC010 and YC011 plug-in families.
What should I include in a quotation request?
Send the YC, CM1, TB, TC or TD model, pole count, wire preparation, dimensions and quantity. Include the exact model quantities, delivery destination and required documentation.
Can you review custom labels and packaging?
Send your part numbers, label artwork, pack quantities and shipment requirements. Feasibility, sample requirements, minimum quantities and lead time are confirmed for the requested models.
