OEX ACX0035 Single Firewall Bulkhead Stud
Route high-current cables cleanly and safely through firewalls and bulkheads with the OEX ACX0035 Single Firewall Bulkhead Stud, featuring two 3/8-16 thread brass stud terminals, 250A continuous rating, 48V DC maximum operating voltage, impact-resistant plastic insulator and mounting bush, stainless nuts, 10mm brass bolts, a compact 15.9mm length, and a 32mm diameter mounting hole for clean, professional cable pass-through in automotive, marine, 4WD, caravan, RV, and commercial vehicle electrical installations.
Product Overview
The OEX ACX0035 is a single firewall bulkhead stud designed to provide a clean, insulated, and rated cable pass-through point for routing high-current positive or negative cables through metal firewalls, bulkheads, chassis rails, battery enclosure walls, and custom electrical panels. In professional automotive and marine electrical builds, passing a bare cable through a hole in a metal panel creates a significant risk of cable chafing, insulation damage, and short circuits where the cable contacts the sharp panel edge. The ACX0035 eliminates this risk by providing an insulated, panel-mounted stud terminal that separates the cable connection point from the metal panel surface, with the impact-resistant plastic insulator and mounting bush providing full electrical isolation between the stud and the surrounding metalwork. The dual 3/8-16 thread brass stud terminals allow cables to be connected on both sides of the firewall or bulkhead, creating a secure, rated electrical connection point that passes current through the panel without any bare cable penetrating the metal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a firewall bulkhead stud and why is it needed?
A firewall bulkhead stud provides an insulated, panel-mounted terminal point for routing high-current cables through metal panels such as firewalls and bulkheads. Without a bulkhead stud, a bare cable passing through a hole in a metal panel risks chafing against the sharp edge, damaging the insulation, and causing a short circuit to the chassis. The ACX0035 eliminates this risk by providing an insulated pass-through terminal that isolates the live conductor from the surrounding metalwork at the panel penetration point.
Can the ACX0035 be used for both positive and negative cables?
Yes. The ACX0035 is a single bulkhead stud suitable for either a positive or negative cable pass-through. For installations requiring both positive and negative cables to pass through the same panel, two ACX0035 units should be installed side by side with adequate separation between them to prevent accidental contact between the two live terminals.
What size hole saw is needed to install the ACX0035?
The ACX0035 requires a 32mm diameter mounting hole, which suits a standard 32mm hole saw available at most hardware stores. Drill the hole in the centre of the intended mounting location, deburr the edges thoroughly, and test-fit the mounting bush before final installation.
What cable lugs are compatible with the 3/8-16 thread studs?
The 3/8-16 thread brass studs accept standard cable lugs with a 3/8" hole, available across a range of wire gauge sizes from light accessory wire through to heavy gauge cables used in 250A-rated automotive and marine applications. Always use correctly sized, properly crimped compression lugs matched to the wire gauge of each circuit.
Is the ACX0035 suitable for marine bulkhead installations?
The brass stud construction and impact-resistant plastic insulator provide good corrosion resistance and electrical isolation suitable for marine bulkhead applications. For best long-term performance in marine environments, apply marine-grade sealant around the mounting bush perimeter during installation to prevent water ingress through the panel hole, and use tinned copper cable lugs with dielectric grease on all contact surfaces.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the main advantage of surface mounting versus flush mounting?
Surface mounting requires no panel cutting or modification — you simply bolt the complete assembly to any flat surface, making installation faster, easier, and completely reversible. This is ideal for retrofitting Anderson plug access to existing vehicles without compromising panels, for rental vehicles or caravans where permanent modifications aren't desired, or for installations where cutting precise openings is difficult or risky. Flush mounting provides a more integrated appearance but requires precise cutting and irreversible panel modification.
Can I use this for my 350W solar blanket connection?
Yes, a 350 watt solar blanket produces approximately 16-18 amps maximum current, which is well within the 50 amp continuous rating of this Anderson plug panel. This makes it an ideal permanent mounting solution for solar input connections on caravans, camper trailers, or 4WD auxiliary battery systems, providing a secure, weather-resistant connection point that eliminates cable clutter and temporary connections prone to corrosion and failure.
How thick can the mounting surface be for proper installation?
The surface mount design accommodates typical vehicle and caravan panel thicknesses from 3mm to 12mm, with cables entering from behind the mounting surface through appropriate cable entry points. For thicker panels or unusual mounting scenarios, verify that sufficient space exists behind the mounting surface for cable routing, terminal connections, and proper bend radius on heavy-gauge Anderson plug wiring to prevent cable strain and connection stress.
Can I mount this on the exterior of my vehicle or does it need interior mounting?
While the UV-stabilized housing withstands outdoor conditions, this panel is designed primarily for interior or protected mounting locations such as under bullbars, in storage compartments, behind protective panels, or in covered areas. The Anderson plug is weather-resistant when connected but should be protected from direct heavy rain, submersion, or pressure washing when unmated. For fully exposed exterior mounting, consider additional weather protection or mounting in locations sheltered from direct water exposure.
What wire size do I need for 50 amp applications?
For 50 amp continuous applications, use minimum 10mm² (7 B&S) automotive cable for runs under 3 meters, or 13.5mm² (6 B&S) for longer cable runs to minimize voltage drop. The panel's terminal blocks accept wire sizes from approximately 6mm² to 10mm². Always ensure your Anderson plug circuit has appropriate fusing (typically 50-60 amp) based on your wire gauge and intended application to prevent overheating and electrical fires.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Product Overview
Premium 2 AWG copper battery cable lugs manufactured from 99.9% oxygen-free high conductivity copper with electro tin plating for superior corrosion resistance. Features inspection window for visual verification of proper cable insertion depth before crimping. Rated for 170 Amps maximum current capacity with wide operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C).
Important Notes:
Proper Crimping Tool Required: These lugs require hydraulic crimping tool or heavy-duty mechanical crimper designed for 2 AWG battery cable lugs. Standard plier-type crimpers or hammer crimpers produce inadequate connections causing high resistance, overheating, and connection failure. Proper crimping creates gas-tight cold-weld connection between copper lug and cable strands. Professional installers should use calibrated hydraulic crimper with dies specifically sized for 2 AWG lugs ensuring consistent, reliable crimps meeting electrical standards.
Cable Preparation Critical: Strip cable insulation to length matching lug barrel (typically 15-20mm). Twist cable strands tightly before insertion to prevent fraying. Insert cable until copper strands visible through inspection window - if window remains empty, cable not inserted far enough for reliable crimp. Use wire brush to clean oxidation from cable strands before insertion. Apply electrical contact enhancer or anti-oxidant compound to bare copper before crimping for long-term reliability.
Heat Shrink Insulation Recommended: After crimping, cover exposed copper and crimp barrel with adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing rated for automotive temperatures. This prevents corrosion, provides mechanical strain relief, and insulates connection preventing accidental shorts. Standard 3:1 heat shrink in 12-15mm diameter suitable for 2 AWG lugs. Marine and underbody installations require dual-wall adhesive heat shrink for maximum moisture protection.
Torque Specifications Matter: When bolting lug to terminal, use proper torque preventing under-tightening (poor connection, high resistance) or over-tightening (damaged threads, cracked lug). Typical torque for M8 bolts: 10-12 Nm (89-106 in-lbs). Use star/lock washers preventing vibration loosening. Apply electrical contact grease to bolt threads and terminal interface reducing corrosion and improving conductivity.
Current Rating Considerations: 170 Amp maximum rating applies to properly crimped connections using quality 2 AWG copper cable in free-air conditions. Actual safe continuous current depends on cable length, ambient temperature, insulation type, and bundling with other cables. For car audio: 170A suitable for systems up to approximately 2000W RMS. For dual-battery systems, consider continuous alternator output and charging current requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I properly crimp these lugs and what tools do I need?
A: Proper crimping requires hydraulic crimping tool or heavy-duty mechanical crimper with dies specifically sized for 2 AWG battery lugs. Process: (1) Strip cable insulation 15-20mm exposing copper strands, (2) Twist strands tightly, clean with wire brush, (3) Insert cable into lug barrel until copper strands visible through inspection window, (4) Position crimper die centered on barrel crimp area, (5) Apply full hydraulic pressure or complete mechanical crimp cycle, (6) Verify crimp created visible indentation around entire barrel circumference, (7) Perform pull test - properly crimped lug should not slide off cable with firm pulling. Never use plier-type or hammer crimpers - these produce inadequate connections causing high resistance and overheating under load.
Q: What cable size is 2 AWG and what can I use it for?
A: 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge), also called 2 B&S (Australian), is heavy-gauge automotive cable approximately 6.5mm diameter (conductor only, excluding insulation). Current capacity: approximately 170-190 Amps in free air, 130-150 Amps in typical automotive installations. Common applications: main battery cables for high-output alternators, car audio amplifiers 1500-2500W RMS, dual-battery isolator systems, inverter power cables up to 2000W, winch power cables, auxiliary lighting circuits. For car audio: use 2 AWG for amplifiers drawing 120-150A maximum current, or when cable runs exceed 5 meters requiring reduced voltage drop.
Q: Why is the inspection window important?
A: The inspection window allows visual verification that cable has been inserted to proper depth before crimping. If cable not inserted far enough, crimp only compresses on cable insulation or partial conductor, creating high-resistance connection that overheats under load and fails prematurely. Proper insertion shows copper strands visible through window, confirming full engagement between cable and lug barrel. This simple visual check prevents most common installation errors causing electrical problems, voltage drop, and connection failures in high-current systems. Always verify window shows copper before crimping.
Q: Do I need heat shrink and what size should I use?
A: Yes, heat shrink tubing is essential for professional installations. Heat shrink provides: (1) Corrosion protection sealing crimped connection from moisture and contaminants, (2) Mechanical strain relief preventing cable flexing at crimp point, (3) Electrical insulation preventing accidental shorts. Use 3:1 shrink ratio adhesive-lined heat shrink, 12-15mm diameter for 2 AWG lugs. Length: extend heat shrink to cover entire lug barrel plus 10-20mm of cable insulation. For marine, underbody, or engine bay installations, use dual-wall adhesive heat shrink for maximum moisture protection. Apply heat evenly with heat gun until adhesive melts and seeps from ends indicating complete seal.
Q: Can I solder these lugs instead of crimping?
A: No, never solder battery cable lugs intended for crimping. Reasons: (1) Solder melts at 180-250°C - well below lug's 155°C operating limit but achievable in high-resistance connections or engine bay heat, (2) Solder wicks into cable strands reducing flexibility and creating stress concentration points causing cable breakage, (3) Solder has higher resistance than crimped copper-to-copper contact reducing current capacity, (4) Automotive vibration causes work-hardened solder joints to crack and fail, (5) Soldered connections impossible to inspect for quality without destructive testing. Proper hydraulic crimping creates superior gas-tight cold-weld connection exceeding solder joint strength and conductivity. Crimping is the only approved method for automotive battery cable terminations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I install sensors on both front and rear bumpers, or is it front OR rear only?
A: The APS201B includes only 2 sensors and one control box configured for either front OR rear bumper installation, not both simultaneously. The DIP switch selects front mode (0.3-0.9m detection) or rear mode (0.3-2.5m detection). For comprehensive front AND rear coverage, you would need to purchase two separate APS201B systems or consider a 4-sensor or 8-sensor system designed for dual bumper installation. Most users install on the rear bumper as reversing is typically where parking assistance is most needed, though front installation helps with tight parking spaces and low obstacles.
Q: Do I need to paint the sensors, and will they work if I don't?
A: The sensors are paintable ABS plastic designed to be colour-matched to your vehicle's bumper for seamless appearance. They come in unpainted black/grey and will function perfectly without painting, but won't match most vehicle colours resulting in visible sensor dots on your bumper. For professional appearance, we recommend having the sensors painted by an automotive painter or body shop using paint suitable for ABS plastic before or after installation. Some users choose to leave sensors unpainted for a discrete "OEM" look, while others prefer perfect colour matching for invisible integration.
Q: How difficult is installation, and can I do it myself?
A: Installation requires drilling two 18.3mm holes in your bumper at specified heights (front: 400-500mm, rear: 500-600mm), routing sensor cables through the bumper to the control box location, connecting power to appropriate circuits (reverse lights for rear, brake signal for front), and mounting the control box and buzzer. If you're comfortable with basic automotive electrical work and drilling your bumper, DIY installation is feasible with careful measurements and proper tools. However, many users prefer professional installation ($150-250 typically) to ensure correct sensor positioning, avoid drilling mistakes, proper cable routing, and correct electrical connections. Incorrect sensor height or positioning significantly affects detection performance.
Q: What's the tow bar adjustment feature, and do I need it?
A: The tow bar adjustment feature (DIP Switch 2) is specifically for rear installations on vehicles with tow bars, bike racks, or rear-mounted accessories. When enabled, it adjusts the sensor detection pattern to ignore fixed objects directly behind the bumper (like a tow ball or bike rack) preventing constant false alerts while still detecting moving obstacles or objects that shouldn't be there. If you have a tow bar or rear accessories, enable this adjustment. If you have a clear bumper with no permanent rear fixtures, leave it disabled for maximum detection range. This feature makes the system practical for vehicles that regularly tow trailers or carry rear-mounted equipment.
Q: Will this system work with my 24V commercial vehicle or truck?
A: Yes, the APS201B features a wide 9-32V DC operating range making it fully compatible with both standard 12V passenger vehicles AND 24V commercial vehicles, light trucks, buses, or heavy-duty applications. The system automatically adapts to the voltage present in your vehicle's electrical system. This versatility makes the APS201B suitable for mixed fleets operating both passenger vehicles and commercial trucks, delivery vans, or service vehicles. Installation procedures are identical regardless of voltage, though 24V vehicles may require professional installation to ensure proper integration with existing electrical systems and compliance with commercial vehicle standards.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Comprehensive 4-sensor parking system designed for passenger vehicle front or rear bumper installation featuring LED visual display and audible buzzer proximity alerts with dual alert system providing both visual distance indicators and increasing tone frequency as obstacles approach, adjustable detection range via DIP switches with front setting 0.3-0.9m and rear setting 0.3-2.5m, paintable 18mm ABS sensors with IP67 water resistance for reliable all-weather operation, wide 9-32V DC input range compatible with 12V and 24V vehicle electrical systems, auto on/off function with brake activation for front installation convenience, tow bar adjustment capability for rear mounting with trailers or accessories, 8m LED display cable and 2.5m sensor cables for flexible installation, ideal for sedans, wagons, SUVs, commercial vans, delivery vehicles, and fleet applications requiring comprehensive parking assistance with visual feedback.
Product Overview
The AXIS APS401 is a comprehensive 4-sensor parking system engineered to provide superior parking assistance for passenger vehicles through combined visual LED display and audible proximity alerts helping drivers avoid costly bumper damage, scratches, and collisions during tight parking manoeuvres. The system uses four ultrasonic sensors mounted across the bumper providing full-width coverage that detects obstacles and triggers both an LED visual display showing precise distance zones and an audible buzzer with increasing beep frequency as the vehicle approaches objects. The dual alert system allows drivers to monitor distance visually while still receiving audible warnings, providing comprehensive feedback without requiring constant attention to the display. The flexible DIP switch configuration allows installation on either front or rear bumpers with appropriate detection range settings - front mode detects 0.3-0.9m for low-speed manoeuvring, while rear mode extends to 0.3-2.5m for reversing applications. The paintable 18mm ABS sensors blend seamlessly with vehicle bumpers after colour matching maintaining factory appearance while adding modern parking assistance.
Important Notes:
Professional Installation Recommended: Drilling bumpers and routing cables requires automotive experience. Professional fitting ensures proper sensor positioning and LED display mounting.
Bumper Drilling Required: Installation requires drilling four 18.3mm holes in bumper. Careful measurement essential to avoid internal structures and ensure proper sensor spacing.
Paintable Sensors: Sensors should be painted to match bumper colour for seamless appearance. Use automotive paint suitable for ABS plastic.
4 Sensors for Front OR Rear: System includes four sensors for comprehensive single-bumper coverage (front OR rear). For dual bumper protection, purchase two systems.
LED Display Mounting: Display requires visible dashboard or windscreen mounting location. Consider display placement during installation planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the advantage of the LED display compared to buzzer-only parking sensors?
A: The LED display provides visual distance indicators showing exactly how close you are to obstacles through colour-coded zones (typically green=safe, amber=caution, red=danger), allowing you to judge distance at a glance without relying solely on beep frequency interpretation. This is especially helpful in noisy environments where buzzer sounds might be difficult to hear, or when you need precise distance feedback for tight parking spaces. The dual system gives you both visual confirmation and audible alerts, providing redundant safety feedback. Many drivers find the LED display more intuitive than counting beeps, particularly when parking in challenging spaces requiring millimetre-perfect positioning.
Q: Can I install all 4 sensors on the rear bumper, or should I split them between front and rear?
A: The APS401 includes 4 sensors designed for comprehensive coverage of either front OR rear bumper, not split between both. Installing all 4 sensors on one bumper provides full-width coverage eliminating blind spots on that bumper. Most users install all 4 sensors on the rear bumper since reversing is where parking assistance is most critical. For complete front AND rear protection, you would need two APS401 systems (8 sensors total) or consider an 8-sensor system designed for dual bumper coverage. The 4-sensor single-bumper configuration provides significantly better coverage than 2-sensor systems, detecting obstacles across the entire bumper width.
Q: How do I mount the LED display, and will it obstruct my view?
A: The LED display is compact and typically mounts on the dashboard top near the windscreen base, attached with double-sided tape or the included mounting bracket. The 8m cable provides flexibility to position the display where it's easily visible without obstructing your forward view - common locations include dashboard center near climate controls, upper dashboard near rearview mirror base, or A-pillar area. The display should be positioned where you can see it with minimal eye movement while still watching mirrors during parking. Most users find positioning near the top center of the dashboard provides good visibility without obstruction. Consider display placement during installation planning to ensure convenient viewing angle and cable routing.
Q: What's the difference between front mode and rear mode detection ranges?
A: Front mode (0.3-0.9m) is optimized for forward parking and low-speed manoeuvring where you need close-range detection for parking barriers, poles, or low obstacles. The shorter range prevents constant alerts from distant objects during normal driving. Rear mode (0.3-2.5m) provides extended detection for reversing where you need more advance warning as your view behind is typically more limited than forward view. The 2.5m range gives adequate warning time to stop before contacting obstacles while reversing. Front sensors automatically activate when brakes are applied at low speeds, while rear sensors activate when reverse gear is engaged, ensuring appropriate detection range for each driving situation.
Q: Will this system work if I have a tow bar or bike rack permanently mounted?
A: Yes, the tow bar adjustment feature (DIP Switch 2) specifically addresses this situation for rear installations. When enabled, the system adjusts the sensor detection pattern to ignore fixed objects directly behind the bumper like tow balls, bike racks, or rear-mounted accessories, preventing constant false alerts while still detecting moving obstacles or objects that shouldn't be there. This makes the APS401 practical for vehicles with permanent rear fixtures. However, the sensors cannot distinguish between your trailer and other obstacles, so when towing you should rely on mirrors and cameras rather than parking sensors, as the trailer itself will trigger constant alerts regardless of adjustment settings.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers
