Do terminal strips need to able to handle my panels full 50a?
I'd want to have my components rated to handle the potential load put upon them. What if you or someone else replaces a fuse at some point with the wrong size? Plan for all contingencies within reason.
as long as your fuses are before your terminal block you should be fine up to the rating of the fuse
Terminal blocks have a current rating just like everything else. Use a under rated terminal block and you will create a hot spot at minimum or possibly a fire hazard.
So if some one wanted to do the same thing with a Din mounted terminal block what would be needed? Just the terminal block with the appropriate rating? By the way I have never seen either a din mounted terminal block or strip terminal block up close do you just hook your feed off one side and your distribution lines off the other?
