Negative Busbars

[apollo]

Hi

Anyone know where I can get a busbar to link all my negative feeds to various kit.

I particularly would rather get one where the connections are crimp spade connectors.

Thanks in advance

I used an earth connector from Wikes, B&Q etc, they have large terminals and double screws.

Index marineare as good as any:
Index mairne busbars
but most decent marine kit supplier/swindlery will stock them.
I haven't seen a spade connector type for sale tho, and while a little less convinient, would rather go for a bolt down type such as on that link, for the better mechanical connection.

you could use the fork type connectors for convinence on these busbars.

Or, if you are willing to use crimp ring-terminals, just bolt them together.

I use 6mm c/s bolts, about 40mm long, bolted through a shelf with the thread accessible from the locker below. Most of the terminals are held between 2 nuts, with a wing nut on the end for any temporary connections.

If you put "bus bar" - two words - into an eBay search there are shops there selling quite good quality ones at reasonable prices.

and BTW it has been known for spade connectors to vibrate off - rings are the standard......

This is what I use.

I would certainly agree with the poster who sugested ring terminals instead of spades.
