Blue Sea Systems 9160B ML-Series Paralleling Link Bus

Blue Sea Systems ML-Series Paralleling Link Bus (9160 / 9160B-BSS)

The Blue Sea Systems 9160 (9160B-BSS) is a solid, heavy-duty ML-Series Paralleling Link Bus engineered to join adjacent ML-Series components directly—such as ML-Series Automatic Charging Relays (ML-ACRs), ML-Series Remote Battery Switches, and ML-Series Solenoids—without requiring short lengths of high-amperage battery cable.

Precision-stamped from high-grade C11000 pure copper and heavily tin-plated, the 9160 provides optimal electrical conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance in high-humidity marine engine rooms. Designed with 3/8" (M10) mounting slot centers matching the terminal stud pitch of ML-Series hardware, it simplifies bank-to-bank paralleling, reduces connection points, and saves critical installation footprint behind DC power distribution boards.

Key Features

• Direct Hardware Interconnect: Eliminates short, bulky cable jumpers between side-by-side ML-Series switches and relays.

• 500A Continuous Rating: Full-capacity current transfer matching the maximum continuous amperage of ML-Series components.

• Tin-Plated C11000 Copper: Delivers low electrical resistance while resisting tarnish, pitting, and oxidation from saltwater spray.

• Precision Center-to-Center Pitch: Custom-formed hole spacing slides directly onto 3/8"-16 (M10) terminal studs of ML-Series devices.

• Space-Saving Footprint: Keeps high-power DC distribution panels compact, rigid, and organized.
