OEX ACX0036 Dual Jump Start Stud

OEX ACX0036 Dual Jump Start Stud

Make jump starting fast, safe, and accessible with the OEX ACX0036 Dual Jump Start Stud, featuring two 3/8" stainless-nutted stud terminals rated to 250A continuous and 48V DC, black coated aluminium sheet construction, UL94 V-0 rated PVC dust covers, 10mm brass bolts, separate red and black plastic cable insulators for polarity identification, panel-mount installation with 3 x 3mm mounting bolts and nylock nuts, and a complete installation kit including Allen key and spanner, providing a dedicated, permanently mounted jump start access point for vehicles where direct battery access is difficult or restricted.

Product Overview

The OEX ACX0036 is a dual jump start stud designed to provide a permanently mounted, externally accessible positive and negative connection point for jump starting vehicles where the battery is located in a difficult-to-access position, such as under the floor, in the boot, beneath a seat, or inside a sealed battery enclosure in a 4WD, caravan, commercial vehicle, or custom build. Rather than hunting for battery terminals buried under trim panels or lifting heavy cargo to access the battery every time a jump start is needed, the ACX0036 allows a dedicated set of positive and negative jump start studs to be mounted at a convenient external location, on a firewall, inner guard, chassis rail, or custom panel, where jumper cables or a jump starter pack can be connected quickly and safely without disturbing any interior fittings. The dual stud configuration provides both positive and negative connection points in a single compact unit, with separate red and black plastic cable insulators ensuring correct polarity identification at a glance and reducing the risk of reverse connection errors during roadside jump start situations. The black coated aluminium sheet provides a robust, corrosion-resistant housing suitable for external mounting, while UL94 V-0 rated PVC dust covers protect both studs from contamination, moisture ingress, and accidental short circuits when not in use. UL94 V-0 is the highest flammability resistance rating for plastic materials, ensuring the covers self-extinguish rapidly if exposed to flame. Rated to 250A continuous and 48V DC maximum, the ACX0036 comfortably handles the high current demands of engine cranking and jump starting in 12V and 24V vehicle applications. The complete installation kit, including 3mm Allen key, 8mm spanner, mounting bolts, and nylock nuts, means everything needed for a clean, professional installation is included in the box. ISO 9001-certified manufacturing and in-house testing at OEX's Brisbane facility ensures consistent quality and long-term reliability.

Features & Benefits

Dedicated Jump Start Access Point for Hard-to-Reach Batteries: Eliminates the need to access the battery directly for jump starting. Mount the ACX0036 at a convenient external location and connect jumper cables or a jump starter pack quickly and safely without removing trim, lifting cargo, or dismantling interior fittings.

250A Continuous / 48V DC Rating for Reliable Jump Start Performance: Rated to 250A continuous and 48V DC maximum, the ACX0036 handles the high surge current demands of engine cranking in 12V and 24V vehicles, ensuring reliable jump start performance without thermal stress or voltage drop concerns at the stud connection point.

UL94 V-0 Rated PVC Dust Covers for Maximum Safety: The PVC dust covers carry the UL94 V-0 flammability rating, the highest available for plastic materials, meaning they self-extinguish rapidly if exposed to ignition sources. Covers protect both studs from short circuits, moisture, and contamination when not in use, maintaining the integrity of the jump start point between uses.

Separate Red and Black Cable Insulators for Polarity Identification: Individual red and black plastic cable insulators clearly identify positive and negative studs, reducing the risk of reverse polarity connection errors during roadside jump start situations where speed and accuracy are both critical.

Black Coated Aluminium Sheet Construction: The black coated aluminium sheet housing provides a rigid, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant mounting platform suitable for external installation on firewall panels, inner guards, chassis rails, and custom build locations exposed to weather and road debris.

2 x 3/8" Stainless-Nutted Stud Terminals with 10mm Brass Bolts: The two 3/8" stud terminals with stainless nuts and 10mm brass bolts provide robust, corrosion-resistant connection points that accept standard battery clamp jumper cables and jump starter pack clamps securely without slipping or damaging the stud surface.

Complete Installation Kit Included: Supplied with 3 x 3mm mounting bolts, 3 x 8mm nylock nuts, 1 x 3mm Allen key, and 1 x 8mm spanner, with everything required for a professional panel-mount installation without needing additional hardware or tools.

ISO 9001 Certified Manufacturing: Produced under ISO 9001 quality management certification with in-house product testing at OEX's Brisbane facility, ensuring consistent quality and long-term reliability across automotive, marine, RV, mining, and commercial vehicle applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dual jump start stud and why would I install one?

A dual jump start stud provides a permanently mounted positive and negative connection point at an accessible external location on your vehicle, allowing jump starting without needing to access the battery directly. It is particularly valuable when the battery is located in a difficult position, such as under the floor, in the boot, beneath a seat, or inside a sealed battery enclosure, where direct access during a roadside breakdown would be slow, inconvenient, or impractical.

What rating does the ACX0036 need to handle jump starting?

The ACX0036 is rated to 250A continuous and 48V DC maximum, providing sufficient capacity for the high surge currents generated during engine cranking in 12V and 24V vehicles. Petrol and diesel engines typically draw 150 to 400A during cranking depending on engine size and temperature. The ACX0036's 250A continuous rating handles typical jump start demands for most passenger vehicles, 4WDs, and light commercial vehicles.

Where is the best location to mount the ACX0036 on my vehicle?

The ideal mounting location is somewhere accessible from outside the vehicle with the bonnet open or from a side panel. Common locations include the firewall, inner guard, front chassis rail, or a dedicated panel near the grille. The location should allow easy jumper cable clamp access without the clamps touching each other or any nearby metal surfaces, and should be protected from direct water spray where possible.

Are the dust covers important to keep fitted when not in use?

Yes. The UL94 V-0 rated PVC dust covers should always be refitted after use. They protect the exposed stud terminals from accidental short circuits if a metal object bridges the positive and negative studs, prevent moisture and contamination from degrading the connection surfaces, and provide the highest level of flammability resistance available in plastic dust covers for added safety near the engine bay.

Is the ACX0036 suitable for 24V heavy vehicle applications?

Yes. The 48V DC maximum operating voltage makes the ACX0036 fully compatible with both 12V and 24V electrical systems, covering standard passenger vehicles, 4WDs, caravans, trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles. The 250A continuous rating is sufficient for most 24V diesel engine cranking applications in light-to-medium commercial vehicles.
