Blue Sea Systems 2314 MiniBus Common Bus Bar, 5 x #8-32 and 2 x #10-32 Studs, 100A, with Cover

The Blue Sea Systems 2314 is a MiniBus common (bussed) distribution bus bar built for organizing positive or negative DC circuits, or for collecting AC grounding conductors, at a single terminal point. It combines two stud sizes on one bus: 5 stud terminals sized #8-32 for smaller-gauge circuits and 2 stud terminals sized #10-32 for higher-current connections, giving installers flexibility to land multiple circuit wires without stacking ring terminals on a single post. The bus itself is tin-plated copper C11000, chosen for strong conductivity and resistance to corrosion in a marine environment. A protective cover is included with this model, shielding the live studs from accidental contact or dropped tools once wiring is complete.

Electrically, the 2314 is rated for 100 Amps AC and 100 Amps DC continuous, with a maximum operating voltage of 300V AC or 48V DC, and it is UL listed. Mounting holes accept 1/4 inch (6mm) screws for securing the bus bar to a panel or bulkhead. It is commonly used as a ground bus, a positive distribution point, or an AC grounding collection point in a DC or AC electrical panel.
