Connection Box

[tmho]

I am looking for a connection box for making connection to the phase wires of my new controller. I am looking for something like the one in the below photo. But I could not find similar items from Ebay when I made a search for "connection box". Am I using the wrong words? What is the proper name for that connection box? Other than that one, would there be something better?

Junction box, often shorten to J box, commonly used for sheltering electrical connectors.

I've seen it called a terminal block.... and also seen a few melt from the little nuts working loose. Usually better to cut the ends and do better terminals if you have the option.

I still could not find it from Ebay by searching "junction box", "j box" or "terminal block".

Maybe you can’t find much because reasonable techs would never use something so ridiculous? Putting that on a moving vehicle (vibration, temperature swings) is a waste of time & energy while begging for trouble.

If you don't wanna splice and can get past your ongoing desire to overly complicate things, use 4-5mm gold bullet connectors.

Something like this. Use shrink tubing to insulate.
