Ideal 89-408 Multipole Terminal Block 8 Pole 30A 300V

Product Description

The IDEAL 89-408 is an 8-pole multipole terminal block rated for 300 volts and 30 amps, built for organized multi-conductor wiring connections in electrical panels, control enclosures, and industrial equipment. The block body is molded from black polyester thermoplastic and the contacts are zinc-plated steel, providing solid conductivity and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. It accepts wire sizes from 22 to 12 AWG, covering a wide range of control and power circuit conductors. The operating temperature range spans -40 degrees F to 266 degrees F, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor enclosures. Licensed electricians and panel builders are the primary installers of this component.

This terminal block is used in residential and commercial electrical applications where multiple circuits need to be terminated in a single organized block. Typical install scenarios include control panels, HVAC equipment wiring compartments, motor control centers, and junction enclosures. Its compact 6-row, 8-pole configuration keeps wiring neat and accessible for future service work. The 0.56 inch height and 4.25 inch length allow it to fit within standard DIN-rail or panel-mount layouts without consuming excessive space.

Key Features

• 8-pole configuration with 6 rows for high-density wiring termination
• Rated 300 volts and 30 amps per pole for reliable circuit capacity
• Accepts 22 to 12 AWG wire for versatile conductor compatibility
• Polyester thermoplastic body resists heat from -40 degrees F to 266 degrees F
• Zinc-plated steel contacts for durable, low-resistance connections
• CSA Certified, UL Listed, and RoHS Compliant for code-required installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation multipole terminal block for use in standard electrical control panels and enclosures accepting 22 to 12 AWG conductors at up to 300 volts and 30 amps.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the panel or enclosure completely before inserting or removing conductors from the terminal block. Verify wire gauge falls within the 22 to 12 AWG range before terminating. Do not exceed the 300-volt or 30-amp ratings for any pole in the block.
