Stinger Fuse Block and Power Distribution Block

[Don Wright]

So, we used the kit of parts supplied Maxi Circuit Breaker block and Distribution block for our prototype robot. I ordered a second Maxi Circuit Breakers Block (JEF-531D) and Distribution Block (16220-2) from Terminal Supply Co.

When I ordered, the Maxi Circuit Breaker Block was out of stock, but they said they had an acceptable replacement. I said OK and they sent them to me.

When I got the parts, there were differences from the original:

1. The new circuit breaker block (the Stinger model) is almost the same except instead of having (4) 10 AWG inputs and (4) 10 AWG outputs, it has (1) 6 AWG input and (4) 10 AWG outputs. Electronically, this is OK. And in our inspection at GLR, a well known inspector said it's fine, but we might want to question it and get it clarified before Nationals. So, is this going to be OK?

2. The power distribution block (16220-2) is NOT what was shipped in the kit of parts. What we got in our kit of parts was (16220-3). The difference is that the one that came in our KOP has three "legs" with the middle leg not being used. (16220-2) is what is listed on the Terminal Supply Co. page and I know electronically it is OK. But, again, we were advised to get it clarified before Nationals. So, is this going to be OK?

Thanks.
