I need to use a power distribution block to connect various components together, for the positive side, I found an old car audio block that has a few terminals that will accept 2AWG wiring, it's some sort of ferrous metal, is from the 90s I think. I don't have a matching one for the negative. I was going to go to the store today to see if I can pick something up, but I think most of what will be available is aluminum blocks.
My batteries packs are LFP, 24V and I am putting 15-20A across, with a 60A breaker. Cables are only 2-5ft away.
Any reasonable concerns with using dissimilar metals for these blocks? I don't think I am not pulling enough current to make much of a difference, but wanted to get some feedback.
I have a bunch of 6061 that I can cut, drill and tap, and maybe save me a trip to the store, and maybe make a matching set instead?
