Title: Some Sort of Power Distributor
Post by: Mrephunk on June 03, 2011, 04:04:04 am

I was looking for something that I can hook up to a 5v and a 12v power supply that will then distribute the power to other ports I can connect wires for LEDs to. I have seen such devices for car audio setups, but the gauges they are in are way to big, and I'm not sure they will work. I was thinking also I could piggyback one entire side of a barrier strip to the power supply but was thinking that something has to have been created that does this. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Those are a variety of terminal strips available through AllElectronics.com.  I've ordered other stuff from them in the past, so I can say they are reputable.  Radioshack has some that work too.  The link was just to follow up on what Bender suggested.

If you want a direct link to one specific product, try this one.  It should work out for your needs.
