Default Master Buss Bar?

I said that I much prefer what is called a barrier strip terminal block, and
whether you get it at The Shack, Mouser, Digikey, etc. is immaterial.

However, if you are going to roll your own, I prefer brass, as it corrodes a
lot less than either copper or aluminum.

Conductivity for a hunk of metal 62 mils thick by quarter inch wide by a
foot long where you measure resistance in the micro-ohms means absolutely
nothing -- copper, brass, or aluminum. On the other hand, corrosion
means a lot -- like steel hardware on aluminum, no matter how good the
plating on the steel.

All good points. So, what is it that you are trying to say , in regards
to which material should be used, and which to stay away from?
