Four matching pairs of tin-plated copper screw terminals, stainless hardware, and tall insulation walls that keep your circuits from shorting to each other. It's the clean way to land a handful of accessory wires at the helm without a mess of splices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Egis 2220-04 is a 4-circuit terminal block built for the kind of wiring you actually find on a boat. Four matching pairs of screw terminals, each with one input and one output, sitting on tin-plated copper bus bars. It's the part you reach for when you need to land a run of accessory wires in one clean, serviceable spot instead of a rat's nest of butt connectors behind the dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach connection pair gives you a dedicated input screw and output screw tied to their own copper alloy bus bar. So you can bring power in on one side and send it out to a pump, a light, a sensor, whatever the circuit feeds, on the other. Four pairs means four independent circuits on a block that measures just 2.17 inches long by 0.86 inches wide. That compact footprint matters when you're fitting it into a console, a switch panel backer, or a tight electrical locker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction is where this block earns its place on salt water. The conductors are tin-plated copper alloy, and that tin plating is what keeps corrosion from creeping into the connection over a few seasons. The hardware is stainless steel, so the screws won't seize or rust out on you. The insulation is a high-temperature material rated to a 2000 Vac dielectric strength, with tall insulation walls between the pairs. Those walls do real work. They keep a ring terminal on one circuit from shorting across to the next circuit or to ground if a lug shifts or you get a little sloppy with a spade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, the 2220-04 carries 20 amps of continuous current per circuit and is rated to 240 volts AC or DC. In practice that covers just about any low-voltage DC system on a boat. 12, 24, 36, and even 48 volt setups all run comfortably through it. It's equally at home on 120 or 240 volt AC if you're wiring shore-power accessories. Twenty amps gives you headroom for pumps, electronics, lighting circuits, and most of the accessory loads you'll distribute off a block like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe like these for cleaning up a helm. Say you've got a handful of accessories, nav lights, a bilge pump, a livewell pump, a stereo, all needing a common positive and ground pickup. Landing them on a 2220-04 gives you labeled, torqued, individually accessible connections you can trace in thirty seconds the next time something acts up. That beats chasing a crimped splice buried in a harness every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick tip on wiring it: use properly sized ring or spade terminals, crimp them well, and snug the stainless screws down firmly without stripping them. Ring terminals seat cleanly between the insulation walls and give you the most reliable long-term connection. If you're running heavier gauge wire for a 20-amp circuit, 12 gauge is a sensible starting point for short runs, with heavier wire as the run gets longer. The block itself won't limit you as long as your terminals and wire are sized for the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne small detail that pays off during install: the conductor strips have anti-rotation ribs. If your strain-relief runs are long and a wire gets tugged, the rib keeps the terminal from spinning under the screw head. It's the kind of thing you don't notice until you've fought a block that doesn't have it. Egis backs the 2220-04 with a 4-year warranty, and the marine-grade materials throughout mean it's built to ride out the heat, vibration, and damp that come with the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need more or fewer circuits, this same line comes in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 pair blocks, so you can size the block to the job. The 2220-04 is the 4-circuit, 20-amp member of that family. For a modest run of accessory circuits on a boat under 30 feet, it's about right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 matching connection pairs, each with a dedicated input and output screw on its own copper alloy bus bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20 amps continuous current per circuit, enough headroom for pumps, lighting, and electronics loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 240 volts AC or DC, supports 12, 24, 36, and 48 VDC systems and 120\/240 VAC accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTin-plated copper alloy conductors resist corrosion for long life in a salt-air environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel hardware so the terminal screws won't seize or rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTall insulation walls protect ring terminal splices from shorting to adjacent circuits or ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnti-rotation ribs on the conductor strips keep terminals from spinning under the screw on long wire runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000 Vac dielectric strength from the high-temperature insulation material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2.17 by 0.86 inch footprint fits tight consoles and electrical lockers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by a 4-year Egis warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Egis Mobile Electric reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow many circuits does the 2220-04 handle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFour.
