Stinger SHD20 HPM Multi Port Gauge Distribution Block

Stinger SHD20 HPM Multi Port Power Distribution Block Solid Copper with Shoc-Krome Finish and Acrylic Cover

The SHD20 from Stinger is a solid copper power distribution block with a Shoc-Krome finish, designed for car audio amplifier power distribution and a wide range of automotive and 4WD accessory applications. It accepts 0 or 4AWG input with 4 or 8AWG outputs, uses grub screw allen key fittings for secure cable locking, and includes a clear acrylic cover and silver-backed acrylic mounting base. A lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects is included.

Product overview

Stacking multiple ring terminals on a single post is a common but unreliable approach to power distribution in vehicle installations. The SHD20 replaces this with a solid copper distribution block that locks each cable in place individually via grub screw allen key fittings, providing a secure and reliable connection for each output without the risk of terminals shifting or losing contact under vibration. The solid copper core with Shoc-Krome plating delivers superior power transfer compared to aluminium or lower-grade distribution blocks.

Originally designed for car audio amplifier power distribution, the SHD20 is equally suited to air suspension systems, air compressor systems, 4WD accessories including winches, fridges, lights, and compressors, and battery power management applications. The clear acrylic cover provides protection for the terminal connections and adds a clean, finished appearance in any installation.

Features and benefits

Solid copper core with Shoc-Krome finish: The solid copper construction provides superior power transfer compared to aluminium alternatives, and the Shoc-Krome plating delivers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance at each connection point.

Grub screw allen key fittings: Individual grub screw fittings lock each cable securely in place, eliminating the unreliable stacked ring terminal approach and providing a vibration-resistant connection at every port.

Suits 0AWG, 4AWG, and 8AWG cable: Compatible with 0AWG (11mm), 4AWG (7mm), and 8AWG (3mm) cable sizes, providing flexibility across a range of installation power requirements.

Clear acrylic cover and silver-backed mounting base: The clear acrylic cover protects the terminal connections and provides a clean, finished appearance. The silver-backed acrylic mounting base provides a secure platform for installation.

Suitable as positive or negative distribution: The SHD20 can be used for either positive or negative power distribution, providing flexibility in installation layout and configuration.

Broad application suitability: Suited to car audio amplifier power distribution, air suspension systems, air compressor systems, 4WD accessories, and battery power management applications.

Lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects: The SHD20 is covered by Stinger's lifetime performance warranty against manufacturer defects.
