I've been trying to find a single-row "barrier strip"...
(I'll try to draw one out here)

I'd like two vertical strips (with screw-holders) seperated.
Most of what I've seen looks like this:
(these connect 2 wires, are available at radio shack, under "barrier
strip")

What do I want to do?
The PB-6 resistor connects 2 contacts on the Curtis.
If the PB-6 is in 'at rest' (non-depressed) position - then it has zero
resistance across the connections.
What I'd like, is a variety of other ways to do the same thing...
basically, short these contacts together.
Push in the clutch? Override the PB-6, thus telling the controller to give
the motor no current.
Transmission in Neutral? A relay pops up and shorts these contacts
together.
Crash sensor? similar thing...
Thus, the controller would be (in each case) instructed (by connecting
these contacts together) to not give the motor any current.
The top section would give me what I wanted...Connect a line from each
'long-row barrier strip' to each contact.
Connect the PB-6 to the first contacts, the clutch switch to the next,
etc....
Anyone know where I can get a barrier strip like this?
I could get 2 of the above models (available at radio shack) and use a
jumper to connect each row...
it would be somewhat kludgy, but it would work.
Suggestions?
I don't want to put a bunch of things in series with the PB-6 microswitch;
I'd rather short these 2 contacts together to shut the controller down.
I prefer this also, to having a safety switch make teh contactor pop-up
when the clutch is depressed... Sure, it'll stop the motor, but the
current going through the contactor will arc, shortening its lifespan.
Thanks!!
