Ideal Industries 89-612B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Ideal 89-612 terminal block be cut down if I only need 4 or 6 circuits?
Yes. The 89-612 is a 12-circuit modular barrier strip that can be cut into smaller sections, so you can break it down to whatever circuit count the box needs. It also stacks end to end if you need more than 12 positions, so you can build up rather than hunt for a larger strip.
2) Does the Ideal 89-612 barrier strip need ring or fork terminals crimped on the wires?
No crimped terminals needed. The contacts on the 89-612 are tubular, so you strip the conductor and insert the bare wire directly into the contact, then tighten the screw. Solid or stranded both work. Integrated wire protectors keep stranded conductors from twisting or breaking as the screw comes down.
3) Do I order the Ideal 89-612 one at a time or is there a bulk box for stocking a van?
Both. Order 89-612 as a single strip for a one-off job, or 89-612B for the box of 100 if you are stocking a truck or an MRO crib. Same 12-circuit strip either way, only the pack quantity changes.
4) What is the flammability rating on the Ideal 89-612 terminal block housing?
The body is nylon rated UL 94V2. That is the only flammability rating stated for the 89-612, and it is what matters when an inspector asks about the plastic on a strip mounted inside a panel or junction box.
5) Is the 89-612 barrier strip safe to mount in a crowded panel without shorting against the enclosure?
The screws are recessed into the nylon barriers rather than sitting proud of the strip, which is specifically there to reduce the chance of an accidental short in a panel or junction box. Combined with the barriers between circuits and tubular contacts that capture the bare conductor, there is little exposed metal once the terminations are made.
6) Can I use this barrier strip for low voltage control and alarm wiring, not just line voltage?
Yes, it is used both ways. The 89-612 barrier strip is applied to HVAC control circuits, security and alarm wiring, telecom low voltage distribution, and industrial control and signal wiring, as well as branch circuit distribution in panels and junction boxes. The tubular contacts handle the small stranded conductors common in control work without needing terminals crimped on.
7) What is the difference between using a barrier strip like the Ideal 89-612 and just wire-nutting connections in a junction box?
A barrier strip gives you a landed, labelled, individually accessible connection for each circuit, so a tech can meter or break one conductor without disturbing the rest. Wire nuts splice conductors together as a bundle and have to be opened to service. On the 89-612 each of the 12 circuits sits in its own barriered position with a screw termination, which is why it is used for control and signal distribution where circuits get traced and tested. If you are simply joining conductors and will never revisit them, a splice connector is the simpler choice.
