Ya, that looks like it would work.  The ones ward posted are what I had in mind, but I'm not interested in making my own or soldering.  With this one, it looks like I just put the + and - 12v wires into one terminal on the end and all the other are then energized, right?  So the connections underneath are already done?

Thanks.

No, each strip is independent. You're probably looking for power distribution blocks:

That's the one I am looking for thanks Tim.

I assume you would just buy 2 of these are wire all your + into one and all your - into the other.

I think typical screw terminals are probably better.

I did, in fact, spend upwards of 20 minutes searching for this before making a thread.  I'm pretty out of my element here and I don't even know the correct technical name of the part so if anyone has any leads I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

When I get some time I will do some searching I have my own project that would benefit from the same thing you are looking for.  It may take me a few days before I get around to it though so if you come up with anything let us know.

I was thinking the exact same thing but I would think if you spent more that the 20 seconds I did searching you'd be able to find the small ones already connected the way you need.  The ones Tim posted I have worked with and they are big and clunky.  Great on the firewall of your hot rod but not the perfect solution for what you stated you were looking for.  Either way you'll come up with whatever works for you.

Have Fun!

I'm still looking for a breakout board/ sidecar board/ expansion board that I can use to expand 12V screw terminals for several connections.

I really want to avoid soldering.  Screw terminals would be even better.  I've been searching digikey with no luck but I'm not sure I'm using the right search terms.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
