Power Distribution Block for bigger amps?

[Shawnu22]

So I am a little surprised I cannot find a stand alone power distribution block. I want something like the 4x4-SPOD but without switches. I plan on running a fridge, air compressor, winch etc. and would like to have a single source to run things to that has fusses and relays with a build in buss bar. Am I completely missing something? Thought it would be an easy aftermarket find. I can always build one but prefer not to.

Eaton and a few other companies make them... typically what you're looking for is what upfitters would install in motorhomes, emergency vehicles, etc. Most don't want to DIY it so it's not something commonly advertised for the average consumer.

Though I wouldn't call much of that "big amps"... most AIO aftermarket units would easily handle those loads other than a winch which you under no circumstances should run in any manner that isn't directly battery-attached. Most of these upfitter parts are for people running larger inverters, electronics (like an ambulance), AC/heat, and a lot of interior lights on large battery banks.

For what it's worth you can (could?) buy the old design SPOD without any switches or anything then do your own setup in that regard. I know that was common among the Toyota guys because the trucks used to come with tons of switch blanks on lower trims.

Thanks, that is a good idea about the old spod and you are also correct about running the winch to the battery. I was looking for something that incorporated relays for things like an air compressor. I really am just trying not to have a nest of wires to the battery.
