I have 4 wires of 6mm2 that I need to connect together, but I can't find a strip connector large enough to do this. I've seen pictures on the Internet of some copper or brass strip connectors, which allow you to connect up to 24 wires together, since it's a 12-way connector and, being all copper or brass, the current will flow all around it.
Has anyone seen these for sale and if so, do you know where!
Otherwise, does anyone know where I would find a strip connector big enough for what I want! I have a 16mm2 connector from Jaycar, but it's not big enough and I don't know where else to try.

Try an electrical supply company like Ideal Electrical, if it exists in their catalogues they can get it in for you.

Try RS, they have free shipping in NZ for all orders.
Thanks for the replies. I had another look on rs-online and found a single bar connector, which is exactly what I need, but not what I was looking for.

any electrical wholesaler will have strips for what size you want - i carry some in my van that will join 16mm.

A Clipsal L5 or L6/25 or similar.Any electrical wholesaler should be able to get them . the other option is some yellow ring crimp terminals,on them. Bolt together and insulate google "yellow ring terminal"
Question,What sort of current draw are you looking at! Some 6m6 crimp lugs may be needed if high current. (assuming you don't use my first suggestion.

Go to an electrical wholesalers (Ideal Elec, J A Russell etc) and just ask for an appropriate sized bus bar, thats the magic word
