Mini Power Post Ø6 (35x42 mm) – Compact High-Current Junction

This mini cable junction post (35 x 42 mm base) offers a single high-current connection point in an extremely compact form factor. It is ideal for situations where standard larger terminals would be too bulky. Despite its small footprint, the post is engineered for heavy amperage – in practice, the allowable current is primarily determined by the gauge of the cables attached and the quality of the crimp connections, rather than the post itself. A stainless steel Ø6 mm stud can carry several hundred amps (e.g., ~200 A) for short durations when properly tightened, making it suitable for many demanding applications in a small size.

The base of the post is made from high-strength plastic reinforced with fiberglass. This ensures excellent electrical insulation between the stud and the mounting surface, as well as stability of shape under heat or mechanical stress. Its diminutive dimensions mean you can mount it almost anywhere – in the corner of a breaker panel, inside a junction box, along a narrow beam, etc. This is invaluable when retrofitting older installations where you need to add a connection point but space is already at a premium.

The central stud is Ø6 mm in diameter and made of stainless steel (AISI 304/316). This gives it a combination of strength (it won’t shear off or bend under load) and corrosion resistance – crucial for marine applications where salty air can quickly compromise regular steel hardware. Two chrome-plated brass nuts are included: these serve to securely clamp down on the ring terminals placed on the stud. Brass, especially with nickel/chrome plating, is an excellent conductor and will not rust, ensuring a high-quality connection over the long term. Using double nuts allows for a jam-nut locking setup, which is an important detail to prevent self-loosening under constant vibration – a common issue on boats and vehicles.

Use cases: This mini post is extremely versatile. It is often used as a distribution node for high-current connections in tight quarters – for example, as a mini bus where several negative wires meet and connect to the main negative cable, or where multiple positive feed lines from different devices converge onto one common supply cable. It can also function as a feed-through terminal on a bulkhead – mount it on a wall, attach one cable on the interior side of the stud and another cable on the exterior side, thereby providing a safe and solid passthrough connection without running a continuous uninsulated bolt through the wall.

Because of its tiny size, the post can be installed very close to a battery or engine, where space is usually scarce. This is convenient when modernizing an electrical system – instead of routing long cables to a distant bus bar, you can install the mini post right where it’s needed and shorten your cable runs. Naturally, when using it, you should ensure that the load (in amperes) does not exceed what the particular connected cables and lugs can handle, as the post itself is very robust.

In summary, the 35x42 mm, Ø6 mm cable junction post provides a high-amperage connection point in a minimalist design. It is built with safety and longevity in mind – the materials are marine-grade, and the construction is simple yet effective. This small device can have a big impact on the tidiness and reliability of your electrical system by bringing cables together exactly where needed and providing a stable linking point that is resistant to the environment.

( Note: The actual current capacity of this mini junction is determined by the connected cable size and duty cycle; always ensure cables and lugs are appropriately rated for the intended load.)*
