Thomas and Betts offers the most
extensive line of Europa products in
five pitches:
• 8mm
• 10mm
• 12mm
• 13.5mm
• 14.5mm
Two connection styles are available.
The Wire Protector version supplies a
plate to shield the wire from being cut
by the screw. The Tunnel connection
is the same design, but without the
sheilding plate – it is ideal for solid
wire or where the most economical
price is required.
