Setting up a new workbench and am wondering what wisdom people can offer. I am powering numerous synthesizers (5v), small receivers (5v), Upconverters (5v), larger receivers (12v), fury Gpsdo’s.. etc. anyone use something neat and not real expensive for distributing 5v and 12v. I am hoping for a long COTS pcb with fusing and maybe holes for plugs.
There's a variety of things out there with PowerPole connectors of varying sophistication. You might check West Mountain Radio or PowerWerx. Or the amateur radio community in general - someone has probably published a dual row PCB design if you want to fab it yourself.
there's also power distribution strips that have rows of banana jacks/binding posts with the standard 3/4" spacing to mate with dual banana plugs
At work, pretty much everything prototype-like uses stackable double banana plugs, usually with a reverse biased diode across the terminals (so if you plug it in backwards, the power supply current limits or folds back). We use a lot of coax to dual banana adapters (just because nobody makes twisted pair banana jack to plug as an off the shelf item).
