Solid, not split!

We live on a boat where it is used to power a medical device that requires a lot of electricity. For this reason a typical construction - even with high-quality ship connections - is usually adhesive tape. up (input) and three wires down is not enough for our purposes. Instead, in this block, the barrel is solid, except for two opposite holes, closer to the bottom where normal springs do. In any case, it doesn't touch the bottom of the plug used. The holes aren't marked in any relevant information on this unit, but I suspect that if moisture COULD get on it, the normal orientation will allow it to penetrate and not corrode the unit. Grounding is done with a spade as part of the ring under the barrel and is held under pressure for full contact with the positive leg screw. The positive pole is a brass screw that connects the positive spade connector. It is mounted in a plastic receptacle on the base of the unit and is also isolated on the outside by another plastic receptacle which houses a positive spade terminal secured with a brass nut. There is a fastener cover on the outside of the hinge. It has three centering/non-rotating tabs on the plastic housing at the opening end. If you're using this in a pre-made hole in the wall, they'll slide right in. For our purposes we will install it in a hole that we will drill in a wooden bulkhead; There are ridges on the 1-inch plastic case with a lid that would latch it properly for our purposes, so I'm considering taking a sharp tool and shaving them off. However, if you are replacing a previous installation, you will need e.g. This is a reliable device at a very affordable price.
