Power distribution to multiple supplies

MtBiker · 26th April 2011, 07:52 PM

I have a DAC and an I/V stage, each with its own power supply. In the future, I will start adding other low power items, each with its own power supply. What are some good termination ideas for connecting n-number of hot-neutral-gnd lines back to a common distribution point near the IEC?

e.g. 3 well spaced screw terminals and a ring at the end of each cable

Something like Mouser 538-39100-0805 will work great with a single output, and terrible with 4 wires crammed into each output.

I am a fan of terminal blocks like Digikey part number WM5760-ND or WM5774-ND. For earth ground I usually just use a big screw connected right to chassis.
