Subject: Re: [TN] bus-bar

All so close.  I am working in a box that is 2.25"H x 6.6"L x 4.6" high, and
also needs to hold other "stuff".  Planning to bring power in via circular
connector on one side wall, split via this "bus" (hopefully mounted on
another side wall), process through circuit (PCB on floor), and 6 outs
through another circular on another side wall.  Bus-bars seem so large -
even overkill for my 10ga line and 20ga pole wire sizes.  But, terminal
blocks, while smaller, are limited in amps.  I require 40A DC, and specs I
find for terminal blocks are 25A per pole.  I assume that means the jumpers
are also only rated for 25A(?).  Band-saw to Grainger part might be the best
solution

Kevin,

And then there are always the standard terminal blocks like - 

http://order.waytekwire.com/productdetail2/M50/47386/6%20POSITION%20TERMINAL
%20BLOCK/

and shorting strips [which is probably what you were referring to]

http://order.waytekwire.com/products2/M50/300/200/500/1/Jumper%20Strip%20For
%20Term.%20Block/Double%20Row%20Terminal%20Blocks/Terminal%20Block%20Junctio
n%20Block/

Not as fancy as Graham's, but another idea for consideration if you are
willing to attach ring terminals to the wires...

Otherwise, can you take a bandsaw and make Grainger's into 2 or 3 ground
bars if it is for grounding purposes.

Likely do not have the room for a DIN rail, but is this something like what
you want?
