Introduction
Design Goals and Paths
The objective is a redeployable, fault-protective series of wire clamp pairs (each pair being electrically conductive).
Insulator Frame: HDPE
Conductive Bridge: Aluminum 6061T6 (abundant aluminum, easy to machine) (note: watch out for galvanic corrosion!)
Fastening Screw: Stainless Steel 304, socket head cap screw
Materials
Stainless Steel M5x0.8, 16mm Lg Socket Head Cap Screws
HDPE Natural White 0.06" x 12" x 24"
HDPE Natural White 1/2" x 12" x 24"
Aluminum 6061T6 1/8" x 1/2" x 72"
Steps
You'll want to cut the thick HDPE to size, ex. 1/2" x 1" x Length
Also cut the thin HDPE to size, ex. 0.06" x 1/2" x Length (ex. 1")
Also cut the aluminum flat to drilling size, ex. 1/8" x 1/2" x mountable length (ex. 6") for mounting onto a vise
Now drill the thick HDPE piece with a 4.5mm diameter drill bit for the screw terminal holes and a 5.5mm diameter bit for the mounting holes
Also drill the aluminum pieces with the 5.5mm diameter bit
Cut the aluminum lengths to use size ex. 1/8" x 1/2" x Length (ex. 1") for each conductive pair
Tap the screw terminal holes with an M5x0.8 tap
Melt on the thin HDPE onto the thick HDPE to divide each screw terminal pair
