I bought AMOMD Eight-Stud Covered Bus Bar as part of my camper van equipment.

Comparing Connection Rows by Count and Stud Size
The roof routing brought several local device leads toward a common entry.
I bought distribution bars separately from those routing supplies.
The AMOMD purchase added eight M10 studs and smaller terminals beneath a cover.

My Takeaway from This Job
The bar layout changes both the number and size of connection points. AMOMD uses eight M10 studs, DAIERTEK six M8 studs per bar, and the four-post set five-sixteenths-inch studs.
Stud count and stud size describe different parts of the bus-bar layout.

Construction
Covered distribution bar
An eight-stud bar gives the connection board a long row of landing points, so its physical footprint matters as much as the number of terminals. Lay out the actual cable lugs around the cover before fixing the board position. Note the direction each cable approaches, the space needed to remove the cover and the labels for the connected equipment. A labeled board drawing connects the purchased bar to the surrounding equipment and its cable routes.
Measure its footprint with the cover fitted, the cable approach space and the clearance required to reach the terminal hardware.

Two Alternatives to Compare
DAIERTEK uses six M8 studs per bar, while the four-post set uses 5/16-inch studs; terminal count and physical stud size are the main layout differences.
This pair of covered bus bars provides four threaded connection posts on each bar. The posts have 5/16-inch stud threads for ring-terminal connections.
