Are the brass strips sold by B&C adequate to use as a bus bar for a  12V ship on a 60 amp circuit-breaker ?  The brass strips are 0.5 inches wide, but  only .025 thick.  Seems quite thin  considering the 6 AWG cable that feeds it.   Should I use something a little thicker?

   Nope. While they appear "thin" the surface area

   and local attachments for rejecting heat

   are superior to insulated wire.
