Aerpro AP406 4gx2, 8gx4 Distribution Block

Aerpro AP406 4GA x2 to 8GA x4 Power Distribution Block

The AP406 is a power distribution block from Aerpro with two 4GA inputs and four 8GA outputs. Constructed from solid brass with gold-plated contacts, clear Perspex covers, and hex set screw terminals, it is designed for multi-amplifier car audio installations requiring a fused distribution point from medium-gauge supply cables.

Product overview

The Aerpro AP406 distributes power from two 4GA supply cables to four separate 8GA output connections, suited to installations running multiple amplifiers or accessories from a common 4GA power feed. The solid brass construction with gold-plated contacts provides low-resistance current transfer at each connection point. Clear Perspex covers protect the terminals from accidental short circuits while allowing visual inspection of the connections without removing the cover. Hex set screw terminals secure cable connections firmly without requiring specialist crimping tools.

Features and benefits

4GA x2 input to 8GA x4 outputs: Accepts two 4GA input cables and distributes to four separate 8GA output connections, providing a clean, low-resistance power split point for multi-amplifier car audio installations.

Solid brass construction with gold-plated contacts: Solid brass provides low-resistance current transfer at each connection point, with gold plating for corrosion resistance and reliable long-term contact performance.

Clear Perspex covers: Clear Perspex terminal covers protect against accidental short circuits while allowing visual inspection of the cable connections without removing the cover.

Hex set screw terminals: Hex set screw cable connections secure cables firmly without requiring specialist crimping tools, allowing straightforward installation with standard hex key hardware.

FAQ

What is the Aerpro AP406?

The AP406 is a power distribution block from Aerpro with two 4GA inputs and four 8GA outputs.

What is the AP406 designed for?

The AP406 is designed for multi-amplifier car audio installations where two 4GA power supply cables need to be distributed to four separate amplifiers or accessories via 8GA output connections.

Do the Perspex covers need to be removed to inspect the connections?

No. The clear Perspex covers allow visual inspection of the terminal connections without removing the cover, while still protecting the terminals from accidental short circuits.

What cable sizes does the AP406 accept?

The AP406 accepts two 4GA input cables and four 8GA output cables. Using cable sizes outside these ratings may result in inadequate clamping force at the terminals or insufficient current capacity for the connected circuit.

How does the AP406 differ from the AP410, AP412A, and AP413A?

The AP406 accepts two 4GA inputs and distributes to four 8GA outputs. The AP410 accepts a single 0GA input and distributes to four 4GA outputs. The AP412A accepts a single 2AWG input and distributes to two 4AWG outputs. The AP413A accepts a single 2AWG input and distributes to four 4AWG outputs. The correct choice depends on your total system current draw, cable gauge, and number of components being powered.

Is the AP406 suitable for ground distribution as well as power distribution?

The AP406 is designed as a power distribution block for car audio installations. Contact us for guidance on whether it is suitable for ground distribution in your specific installation before purchasing.
