Overview
The Burndy RK227-2 is a barrier-style screw terminal block designed for multi-circuit power distribution and signal connections in industrial and commercial installations. With 16 circuits rated at 30A, this component provides reliable wire termination with steel nickel-plated screws that resist corrosion and ensure long-term performance. The double-row configuration and compact design make it ideal for control panels, motor control centers, and distribution equipment.
