VTE Inc. has introduced a new busbar design with push-on
connections. Busbars are a vital part of any electrical system, but
traditional units can be difficult to mount. The VTE Tab-Type
Busbar installs on average 255 percent faster than fork-type and
340 percent faster than ring-terminal-type connections, according to Pellston, Mich.-based VTE. The device is available with 10,
20 or 30 connection points, and it can be mounted horizontally,
vertically and upside down, says company president Ralph Van
Tielen. “Your typical ring terminals have mounting limitations,”
he says. “With our product, you can get a lot more use out of the
real estate under the dash.” With a heavy-duty, GF nylon base
and 1/4-inch stainless-steel connection posts, the Tab-Type Busbar is ideal for electrical power distribution and grounding applications. Each connection point is rated up to 20 amps at 12 volts
DC with a maximum load of 120 amps for the busbar. It accepts 1/4-inch push-on, blade-receptacle-type terminals, also known as quick disconnect. VTE made the stainless connection posts thicker to
make sure the connections remain intact, says Van Tielen. “It has a 16-pound holding force, which is
7 more pounds than the standard,” he says. To comply with ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ABYC standards, an optional tab-type busbar protective insulator kit also is available.
Offered in red, black and yellow, the kit includes a protective cover, as well as 8-2 and 18-10 gauge
terminal insulators. The Tab-Type Busbar has suggested retail prices starting at $17.51. For quantities
of 100-249, the prices start at $6.37 each. The optional kit is about $3. Contact: VTE Inc., Pellston,

Edson Marine added a new style to its Diamond Series lightweight aluminum racing wheels for sailboats. The Double Black
Diamond has a new six-spoke configuration. The spokes are
paired, giving the skipper better access to, and visibility of, the
vessel’s electronic displays, according to Chuck Gilchrest, sales
manager for Edson’s marine division. Available in a 48-inch diameter, the wheel uses the same airfoil-shaped aluminum spokes as
the original Diamond Series wheels. The wheel is black powder-coated and comes with Edson’s gray ComfortGrip leather wheel
rim cover. Retail price is $2,655. Contact: Edson Marine, New
Bedford, Mass., (508) 995-9711, www.edsonmarine.com.
Furrion LLC, a new company selling electrical wiring,
cables and related components, has introduced a
portable ramp designed to protect shore power and
data cables. “It is the only ramp that we know of that
stores in its own compact storage bag and can be as-sembled/disassembled in seconds, yet still withstand
2-1/2 tons,” says Furrion vice president Mark Curry. The
product houses a 2-foot-long section of cable up to 1-
3/4 inches in diameter. Two 200-amp cables fit easily.
The ramp also can help prevent tripping over cables,
says Curry. “We have had international interest in the product, especially for the bigger boats and
safety-conscious boatyards,” he says. Two reflective warning signals are located on the top of the
ramp, which is covered with a non-skid surface for maximum grip. The ramp features a quick-con-nect system for joining multiple ramps. It also has reflecting surface symbols for night visibility and
rubber feet for added traction and stability. It can also be permanently mounted. While the retail
price will vary slightly by location, the MSRP is $189.95. Furrion backs the ramp with a 2-year warranty. Contact: Furrion, Beaverton, Ore., (888) 354-5792, www.furrion.com.
