<div>Looks like you have 3x tie points for +V an 3x tie points
for -V, with a total across all three loads as 100A.<br>
<br>
</div>
Since you would not want to run a 100A wire (as you see the
size required for that), just run 3x smaller wires.<br>
<br>
</div>
Is all 100A going to the same point, and if so, where? From
your first post, it sounds like you are trying to build a 100A
supply around this - is that true? So why not just feed all 3x
of each to the outside instead of trying to find a 100A binding
post?<br>

You would combine 3 wires, each capable of carrying 35 amps from
each of the terminals. According to my calculations, 5 VDC @ 33 A
would require #14 solid wire, #12 stranded. (I also calculate #12
solid wire for 12 VDC @ 33 A - a situation I just ran into). Crimp
terminals suitable for #12 wire would work just fine.<br>
<br>
Now you know what those high-wattage car-stereo booster-amp power
supply leads are for... :)<br>
