Dual PowerPost Terminal - Two 5/16"-18 Studs

Designed for secure electrical distribution aboard, the Dual PowerPost BLUE SEA 2016-BSS is a power connector featuring two 5/16"-18 studs. This component is essential for creating isolated and robust connection points within the marine electrical system, enabling consolidation and distribution of power to various circuits or equipment. It is distinguished by compliance with international safety standards for marine environments.

Protection and Compliance

The PowerPost 2016-BSS is certified for protection against ignition of surrounding flammable gases, in accordance with ISO 8846. This certification, issued by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) and recognized under the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC (as amended by 2003/44/EC), ensures safe use in areas potentially exposed to fuel vapors, such as engine compartments. It is part of the Blue Sea Systems PowerPost series, including models 2003, 2002, 2011, 2010, 2001, 2016, 2017, and 2018, all designed for reliable electrical connection applications. Unlike a simple terminal block, this PowerPost provides essential insulation and protection for critical installations.

Integration and Functionality

With its two 5/16"-18 studs, this Dual PowerPost allows simultaneous connection of two large-gauge cables or the creation of a junction point for separate circuits. This configuration is particularly useful for systems requiring clear separation between main power and a secondary branch, or for connecting high-consumption devices such as windlasses or inverters. Its design ensures a stable connection and mechanical resistance suited to marine environment constraints, positioning it as an intermediate solution between simple terminal blocks and more complex busbars for targeted distribution needs.
