Review on πŸ”Œ URBEST Socket with Module Switch Terminals by Lild Zimmerly

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Saved my components, probably saved my life

I accidentally miswired this even after using my multimeter to test continuity just a week earlier. I guess I forgot what I learned or maybe I got distracted. I connected it top to bottom instead of left to right as intended and the fuse blew. I had to wait for the fuses to be replaced before even realizing the extent of my error. While I waited, I took the time to test it again and was reminded of my previous design and implementation insights. I can say with absolute certainty that it has a built in fuse and is plugged into AC power, that's the only reason why my mistake didn't cost me more than a few days of delivery time and a faint smack to my ego. Please never bypass security measures. And don't buy an unfused plug like this one. I will happily buy this device every time I need something like this.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • No automatic
