Wesgarde Highlights the Sealed Buss Bar for Harsh‑Environment Power Distribution

Fully sealed, maintenance‑free bus bar for faster installation, stable grounding, and long‑term  reliability in harsh environments

Wesgarde, a national leader in the distribution of electromechanical and electronic power  components, is proud to highlight the Sealed Buss Bar, a sealed grounding and power  distribution solution engineered for harsh, high‑vibration applications in marine, off‑road, and  specialty vehicles. Now part of the Solico product catalog, the Sealed Buss Bar combines a fully  sealed architecture with pre‑crimped harness connections to simplify and reduce installation time  while improving long‑term reliability and system performance.

The Sealed Buss Bar features a fully sealed bus bar assembly and sealed terminations that protect  conductive surfaces and connection points from moisture, mud, salt, and debris, significantly  reducing corrosion and intermittent electrical faults over time. Its corrosion‑proof ground and  return system maintains low impedance and stable ground potential, helping minimize electrical  noise, improve diagnostic reliability, and support sensitive electronics in demanding  environments. Built to endure thermal cycling, shock, and vibration, it delivers reliable  performance in harsh environments, off-road equipment, and specialty vehicles exposed to  weather, washdowns, and road spray.

For OEMs, pre‑crimped wiring and harness connections enable quick, plug‑and‑play installation,  reducing variability from manual crimps, wiring errors, and assembly time on the line. The  quick‑installation design and centralized grounding and return path streamline system layout,  simplify retrofits, and reduce parallel ground paths that can cause differences in ground potential  and inaccurate analog readings such as fuel level. A maintenance‑free design minimizes the need  for periodic cleaning, tightening, and inspection of exposed bus or chassis ground points,  lowering service requirements and helping keep equipment in operation longer.

The Sealed Buss Bar comes in two main product configurations, the single with one 12-pin  connector, and the double, with two 12-pin connectors, as well as 150V & 300V capabilities. All  Sealed Buss Bar products can be connected through either Deutsch or Amphenol mating  connectors. All products can be color customized to aid with wire harnessing connection points  or other product synergies.

The Sealed Buss Bar has proven successful in marine and electric vehicle markets and is well  suited for marine bilge systems, front‑end loaders, skid steers, tractors, golf carts, ATVs, and  side‑by‑sides where rain, mud, salt, and snow are everyday realities. Backed by the Solico brand,

the solution offers OEMs an integrated, supported path to more reliable sealed power distribution  and grounding in harsh environments. For more information, please visit:  www.SealedBussBar.com.
