Upgrade Your Wire-to-Wire Connections with Touch-Proof Terminal Strips

Choosing the right terminal strip is important for optimizing the safety and efficiency of your electrical connections. Eurostrips® terminal strips offer a high-performance solution, offering fast and reliable wire-to-wire connections. These modern, touch-proof terminal strips replace traditional double-row barrier-style blocks, enhancing safety by eliminating shorts in diverse applications like HVAC, appliances, power distribution and junction boxes.

Here’s a rundown of the features and benefits of Eurostrips® terminal strips:

Durable design. Eurostrips® are made from polyamide 6.6 — a self-extinguishing material that enhances safety by reducing the risk of fire. The design also includes tubular screw clamps and wire protectors to maintain a secure connection. These wire protectors prevent damage to the wire strands during installation, maintaining the integrity of the connection over time and ensuring the connection remains gas-tight and electrically efficient.

Easy installation. Eurostrips® can be mounted on panels using standard screws or mounting pins, or they can be left to free float, eliminating the need for additional mounting hardware.

Versatility. Eurostrips® are available in various configurations to meet diverse application needs. Units are available in 12-pole strips or pre-cut versions, providing flexibility in installation, and can be easily cut to the required length.

Cost-effective. Eurostrips® are a cost-effective alternative to traditional barrier strips. By eliminating the need for labor-intensive wire lugs, they reduce the number of electrical connections required in circuits, lowering material costs and installation time.

Space savings. Eurostrips® feature a compact design, making them ideal for applications with limited space. The smaller footprint leaves more room for other components and can reduce the required enclosure size.

Explore the Eurostrips® Family At Altech, we offer several Eurostrips® product families, each one designed to meet specific voltage and mounting requirements:
