Altech’s Eurostrips are safe, economical and
meet national and international standards.
They are a cost-effective alternative to barrier
strips that require labor-intensive wire lugs and
they reduce the number of electrical
connections in circuits.
It’s easy. Eurostrips feature tubular screw
clamps, wire protectors, and are ready for
immediate wire hookup. Eurostrips are ideal
for limited space, which means more room for
other components or reduced enclosure size.
Free float or mount them onto any panel. They
are available in easy-to-cut 12-pole strips or
pre-cut.
Double-Row Feed-Through Eurostrips are
supplied with wire protectors. Offered with flat
bases or standoff feet, they are molded of selfextinguishing polyamide. Custom imprinting
and marking plates are available.

Eurostrips are quickly panel or chassis
mounted. Use standard screws or mounting
pins, offered as accessories in this section, or
leave them free floating to
completely eliminate
mounting.
EASY CONNECTION
S AV E S M O N E Y
What could be easier? Simply strip the
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.

R E D U C E S I N V E N T O RY
Order standard (12) pole Eurostrips or precut
lengths to meet your specific pole
requirements. 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.
Wire
Protector
Center
Barrier
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 prevent screw
head breakage and thread
damage resulting from
over torquing and to
provide trouble free
operation. Screws are
plated with zinc yellow
chromate to provide corrosion resistance.
Optional stainless steel or nickel plated brass
screws may be ordered for highly corrosive
environments or marine applications.
Standard Eurostrips feature stainless steel wire
protectors. Unlike wire protectors found in
many competitive products which use copper
alloy materials, stainless steel has superior
memory characteristics. Accordingly, the wire
protector will return to its original position even
after repeated use. This means trouble-free
wire insertion and quicker reconnections.
ACCESSORIES
External jumpers bus potentials between poles
on Eurostrips, eliminating wire jumpers and
reducing wiring time. Isolation partition
increases clearance between adjacent poles
and provides visual separation for more
efficient wiring. Mounting pins simplify
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 terminal to panel.
Identify circuits and reduce wiring mistakes
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.
Altech’s stainless steel wire protector features a
unique center barrier preventing wires from
being inserted too far. Another Altech
advantage.
HOUSINGS
Eurostrip housings are injection molded from
self-extinguishing polyamide 6.6 molding
material, possessing high dielectric strength
and excellent electrical insulation and
temperature resistance. 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).
