The terminal numbers are insignificant. You can wire it either way. Bob . . .

Multi-voltage systems aboard aircraft are difficult to craft for reliability and cost of ownership. The only successful airplane I've touched with a multi-voltage system had TWO independent alternator-battery systems. This was a research Bonanza wherein we drove a second alternator from the pad where an air conditioning compressor would mount. Suggest you go all 24 volt. The 12v accessories you cited are probably available in 24 volt. Bob . . .

    Subject: Master contactor
    Instead of a contactor I am considering a master disconnect switch as used on race cars. My battery must go behind the cockpit for W&B so the battery leads will pass the cockpit. Therefore the disconnect would not require anything extra. It would be located in an accessible area. Any thoughts? David Posey TriQ200

Any thoughts? Would the lead between battery(+) and the switch be as short as if it were between battery(+) and a contactor?

I would remind all of our readers that tools are not just about convenience. I'm presently reorganizing and concentrating my family's business ventures in Medicine Lodge, KS.
