12 screws, 8 mm terminals

This is a Victron Energy busbar rated for a maximum of 250 A, with 12 screws and a cover. The bar is tin plated copper measuring 6.35 mm by 25 mm, and the terminals are 8 mm in diameter. The maximum DC voltage is 70 V. The whole assembly weighs 0.35 kg, and the base carries a UL 94 V-0 fire rating.

Our take

The bar is 6.35 mm by 25 mm of tin plated copper with a 250 A maximum current, so the current path is a solid section of metal. Twelve screws on 8 mm terminals give several places to land cables, within a 70 V DC limit.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.

Check before you buy:

  • On a boat subpart I covers, a continuously energized ungrounded terminal needs a boot, nipple, cap, cover or shield.
  • Ignition protection on a charger or switch is the maker's statement, so read what it says and which standard it names.
