DESCRIPTION

Imagine terminal blocks that are cut out of one solid piece of brass, designed to

distribute power. Well, that's what we have here! These machined bus bars are for

when you want to distribute power through a project, we think they are ideal for

robots and LED pixel grids where you have tons of current and a lot of loose wiring

to control

Each bus has 7 holes bored out of a chunk of brass. There are screws that can

cinch down any number of wires. Since its meant for power distribution, the wires

should be 20 AWG or larger (thinner wires will slip out). You can use any larger

wire, the holes are 6mm diameter! We don't have exact specifications for current

carrying ability but we imagine they are good for at least 10A as its just a chunk of

metal. We plan to use these for LED pixel matrix power distribution, which is a low

voltage and fairly low amperage activity. If you want to use this for higher currents

or voltages, please use common sense and plenty of testing until we can find a

spec sheet!

A nice touch on these is the plastic covering which provides a little isolation from

the outside world, and mounting flanges.
