those terminal blocks hold 4 2/0 guage wires. I bought them off some website, can't remember what one and I also can't remember how I found it...I stumbled across it last year and bought 20 of them because they were 50 cents each!

I searched my mail for the invoice, if you are interested in the terminals I got them from http://www.meci.com/index.php/cPath/541 they have even bigger ones too, if you don't know what MCM is its a differant way of measuring wire...500MCM is way bigger than 4/0 gauge...in fact the cross sectional area of a 500mcm wire would be like 5 1/0 gauge wires! (1/0 is basically 105MCM) I don't even know where you would get wire big enough for those terminals

Just get some silicone and put it on the edges. Wait a few hrs (12+) for it fully dry and ta da instant grommet.

The terminals that I got are part 310-0276...Like I said they accept 4 2/0 wires and they cost 50 cents each. To me thats a sweet deal. When I bought mine the minimum order was $20 so I ordered 20 of these and 20 rolls of electrical tape which was 50 cents a roll. Shipping was like another $20 and they didn't send the electrical tape because they were out, they didn't charge me for it either but in the end I paid like $1.50 for each terminal shipped...still an amazing deal.
