• Suitable replacement for any bus bar rated for up to 250A with one M10 (3/8") main stud and three #8 screw terminals.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Automotive 12V and 24V systems for accessories and high-current devices
• Marine electrical systems for boats and yachts
• RV, camper, and travel trailer power distribution panels
• Off-grid solar power systems and battery banks
• Golf carts and other electric utility vehicles
• Industrial equipment requiring a centralized power or ground connection point

When to Replace

• Visible corrosion, pitting, or arcing marks on the studs or bar
• Physical damage such as a cracked base or bent studs
• Overheating under normal electrical load
• High resistance or significant voltage drop measured across the bar
• When upgrading system components to handle higher amperage

Installation Tips

• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery bank before beginning installation.
• Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and structurally sound.
• Use properly sized and crimped ring terminals for all cable connections.
• Secure main stud nut and terminal screws to the appropriate torque specification to prevent loose connections.
• For marine or high-moisture environments, consider applying a dielectric grease or corrosion inhibitor to terminals after tightening.
• Verify all connections are secure before re-installing the protective cover and reconnecting power.
