Rich,
While that sounds like a good idea, I'd like to suggest either a multi-pin Cinch-Jones
connector or a connector for a utility trailer. The Pwr-Poles will be hard to keep
"straight" as far as 1-1, 2-2, etc. With the others, it's one plug-up. they are
polorized, and you're done.
you can gang as many powerpoles together into one big block as you like.
There's a practical limit in terms mating/demating force, but I've
used a block of 12 (4x3 array).
They're also available in a lot of other colors.
For multipin connectors, in general, I like the Circular Plastic
Connectors (CPC) from Tyco/AMP. Rugged, nice pins/sockets, etc. and
quite inexpensive. I find these easier to use than the rectangular
Molex type.
Depending on the wire size, another convenient connector, but not
necessarily for a lot of mate/demate cycles, is the modular phone type
jack/plug. A risk here is accidentally intermating with network or
phone, and there's a limit of 8 conductors.
