Question:

how to distribute power 6V DC to 20 load components?

Can all the components plug in to 1 output( 6V DC)? Will the current drop? What is the best way to distribute in order to maintain no current drop.

Answer:

If the loads aren't fused, they should be. The easiest and cleanest way to connect this many loads to one voltage supply is to use a fuse block. The link below shows one variety. I don't know if you can find a fuse block that holds 20 fuses but you could use two fuse blocks with 10 fuses. I've done this many times. It's much neater and easier to work with than a bunch of wires going to one connection.
This depends on the current demand of your components and the capacity of your power supply. If each of your components draws 1 Amp and the supply is only rated for 10 Amps, something is likely to heat up in the power supply.
