Review on πŸ”Œ Pico 1593PT Brass Electrical Wiring 0.187" Male Tab ATM/Mini Fuse Tap Terminal - Pack of 50 by Benjie Swindler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the best option. Unreliable contact.

Although I like the concept, I ended up not using it because I didn't like the contact between the fuse clip and this faucet. Vibrations can lead to loss of contact. They just seem loose/sloppy. I finally tried soldering a tap to the fuse terminal but it started melting the (cheap) ATM fuse. Also, I found the top of the spade to be a bit short for connectors, especially if you had to bend left or right (90 degrees/flat) due to clearance issues. But what worries me the most is a faucet that's guaranteed to make positive contact, and I couldn't put up with that. I ended up buying a Pico 0956pt Mini Fused Circuit 16 Awg 10a or a Buss Bussmann BP/HHH ATM Add-A-Fuse. They are positively mounted and leave lots of solder wires in one or more connections. If I had to do this everywhere I would probably buy/add a circuit with a fuse and install a fuse box like the WirthCo 30110 ATO/ATC Fuse Box with 4 Position Cover. I would find it easier to make a connection at my fuse box and then find it somewhere I can make a few more connections, but these are better marked/identified. Just make sure you don't overload the faucet, otherwise run a new wire from the battery (fuse next to the battery) and then a relay (across the trigger) to power the accessory etc.
