Types H & BT
.652" (16.56mm) Center-to-Center Spacing
Features:
Sectional, High and Medium Power Terminal Blocks
–
Designed for high power applications and control/power
circuits respectively. Units approach power ratings of larger
terminal blocks whlie retaining increased circuit density of
low power designs.
Broad Terminal Choice
– One thru 30 terminals on .652"
center-to-center spacing with white fiber circuit marking
strips.
Thru-Bolt Barrier-Type Construction
– Rated at
75A/600V for Type H; 30A/600V for Type BT.
Unique Bar and Traveling Collar Design
– Eliminates
lugging of wire on Type H. UL recognized for No. 16AWG to
No. 4AWG. Type BT uses two No. 10-32 terminal screws,
UL recognized for No. 22AWG to No. 10AWG.
Combined Style Flexibility
– Types can be used in
combination as well as be combined with types L, O, S, T &
U for greater application flexibility.

How to Order
Types H and BT terminal blocks are ordered by listing a
model number made up of the model designation followed by
the number of terminals required for the application.
Example: a 10-pole terminal block becomes H-10 or BT-10
When ordering combinations of both types, the model
number is made up of both model designations followed by
total number of poles and number of each type.A composite
of three H terminals followed by two BT terminals thus is
converted to stock number HBT-5 (3H, 2BT).
Dimensions shown are ± 0.030"
