When I go to the Homac website from Thomas & Betts it only appears to offer
large files that my mediocre internet bandwidth would take days to retrieve

Subject: [TN] bus-bar

Technos,

I apologize in advance if this is an overly simplistic request, but I am not
primarily an electrical engineer.  I've been searching for a bus-bar /
distribution-bar / terminal block (whatever you want to call it) for a
specific test box.   Inside the test box, what I need to do is simply split
1 wire input  into 6 output.  The current box simply uses a wire nut.  I'd
like to improve this with a bus-bar / dist-bar / terminal-block.    The
input wire is 10ga, the 6 out are 20ga, total current up to 40A DC..     I
am ideally looking for something akin to the ground bar in  your household
electrical panel (ref Square-D p/n PK23GTA, Grainger P/N 5B716), but a
smaller version of it.    I can't seem to locate such an item.  Does it
exist?   I can find many terminal block variants, but would require use of
multiple jumpers to create the "bus".    I've also found McMaster-Carr P/N
7626K11, but it is a bit too tall profile (1.52").

I've also considered that I could use grounding ribbon and simply solder
connections, but for serviceability I would really prefer screw terminals.

Thanks in advance.
