Bussmann TB100-12B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many circuits can I land on a Bussmann TB100-12B terminal block?
Twelve poles, arranged as a double row barrier strip, so you get twelve separate circuits with a screw connection on each side of the barrier. The barriers between poles are what keep adjacent conductors from shorting in a tight panel, and the double row layout means each pole has a feed side and a load side rather than being a single-row splice point.
2) What size ring or spade terminals do I need for the TB100-12B terminal block?
The screws are #6-32, so use ring or fork terminals sized for a #6 stud. The screws themselves are nickel-plated brass with a phillips/slotted (philslot) drive, so a #1 or #2 phillips or a small flat blade both work on the same head.
3) What torque should I use on the terminal screws of a Bussmann TB100 series block?
9 lb-in on the terminal screws. That is low enough that a nut driver by feel will overshoot it on a brass #6-32 screw, so use an inch-pound driver. Under-torquing is what causes the hot joints you find later on a thermal scan.
4) Will this terminal block hold up in an unheated outdoor enclosure or a hot mechanical room?
Operating range is -40 to 130 degrees C, which covers unconditioned outdoor cabinets in cold climates as well as boiler and rooftop equipment enclosures. The terminals are tin-plated brass, a plating normally chosen to keep the contact surface from oxidizing over that kind of cycling.
5) Is a barrier strip like this the right choice, or should I be using DIN rail terminal blocks?
A barrier strip like the TB100-12B is a fixed twelve-pole block that screws directly to the panel, so the pole count is set when you buy it and you cannot add a pole later. DIN rail blocks are the other approach: individual poles that slide on a rail and can be added, removed, or re-grouped. Pick the barrier strip when the circuit count is fixed, the enclosure has no rail, and you want feed and load on opposite sides of an insulating barrier. Pick DIN rail when the panel is likely to grow.
6) Is the Bussmann TB100-12B RoHS compliant for a spec that requires it?
Yes, the TB100-12B is RoHS compliant. That is usually the box institutional and government procurement needs checked on controls hardware, and it is consistent with the tin-plated brass terminals and nickel-plated brass screws used on the part.
