Tin-Plated Brass Busbars

From Cole Hersee Co.
 

 

Manufactured from solid brass with an electroplated coating of tin: surface retains unblemished appearance longer than copper, and the corrosion-free surface maintains maximum conductivity.

Busbars are recommended in ABYC standards: "No more than 4 conductors must be connected to any stud." E-9.16.K (10) Busbars provide for safer electrical distribution, allow removal of any one lead for diagnostic checks. "Ring and captive spade terminals must be the same nominal size as the stud." E-9.16.K (11) Cole Hersee busbars have standard studs with hex nuts.
