If I am thinking of the same thing we use to call it chocolate block in the Navy, if you go a google search for chocolate block connectors you will get loads of links. Can't help with best place to buy but any electrical factors should be able to help.

Aha! Chocolate block sounds familiar.

"Multiple screw terminals can be arranged as a barrier strip, with each short metal strip having a pair of screws. This is used for connecting two different components, one on each side of the pairs. This arrangement is common in luster terminals, as pictured at left. These are known as connector strips or chocolate blocks in the UK. Conversely, terminals can also be arranged as a terminal strip or terminal block, with several screws along (typically) two long strips. This creates a bus bar for power distribution, and so may also include a master input connector, usually binding posts or banana connectors."

That's what I'm after, but most of the stuff I see actually seems to be a "connector" strip.
