The buss and terminal clips are tin-plated copper C11000 for corrosion resistance, and the bus bar accepts standard ring or spade terminals so it wires up with ordinary hand tools rather than proprietary connectors. A single 1 x #10-32 terminal stud handles the incoming 8 AWG to 4 AWG feed, while four #8-32 terminal screws each accept 16 AWG to 10 AWG load wires, giving you four independent output circuits off one input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA snap-on cover keeps the terminals protected and includes storage for four write-on circuit labels so each connection can be identified at a glance. Three wire plugs are included to seal off any of the four load positions that are not in use, preserving the water-resistant rating when fewer than four wires are connected. The 2356 is designed to nest with the ST-Blade Water-Resistant Fuse Block (5056 or 5056100) and with other Water-Resistant 100A Common BusBars (2356 or 2356100) for a compact, stacked wiring layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: the 2356 is not ABYC compliant and is not intended for marine applications; for marine installations use part number 2356100, the marine-rated version of this same bus bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2356\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Gangs\/Circuits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 Volts AC \/ 48 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Amps AC \/ 100 Amps DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBus Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tin-Plated Copper C11000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Stud:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x #10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Screws:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x #8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size, Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 AWG to 4 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size, Load (each of 4 circuits):\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 AWG to 10 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts 1\/4 inch (6mm) screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085023560\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 write-on circuit labels, 3 wire plugs, cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNests with the ST-Blade Water-Resistant Fuse Block (5056 or 5056100) and with other Water-Resistant 100A Common BusBars (2356 or 2356100).
