Commoning strips for terminal blocks - alternative names and/or supplers?
I want to use some fairly standard barrier terminal strips but need
some way to common up rows of terminals. The terminal strips will be this sort of thing:- http://www.rapidonline.com/sku/Cable.../82830/21-3074 But I can't find anywhere that sells suitable 'commoning up' strips. Can anyone suggest a supplier or an alternative way of providing a neat (and reasonably priced) way of connecting lots of wires to a common supply? This is 12 volts by the way. -- Chris Green |

Have a look at Keystone and Abbatron as manufacturers of such barrier strips for specific part numbers. Whether or not you can buy them in modest quantities may be another question altogether. If you only need a few you could crimp spade connectors back to back with an invisible short piece of tinned copper wire? Would be reasonable neat if thsi suits your application. Bob I have used DIN Rail mounted choc blocks for this..and simply daisy chained one side together with wire loops. Or use a pukka item http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/s...ct&R=388282 7 |
