How it get 12 Volt power!
 
Great stuff - thanks for the effort. Will help someone out for sure.

Thanks for the post, I can think of several ways of putting these to good use! :c:

Good Info, the piggybacks for the mini fuses dont work very well anyways, at least the ones I bought at NAPA didnt, I had to cut one side off of them to get the fuses back in. I will be looking for theese. :c:

Agreed on that! Most fuse block don't allow for the extra material on the fuse. Either it's a hard push to get them in, or a little modification is required.

Good find.It will come in handy.:tu:

Awesome! Used one of these last night on a coworkers, girlfriends car. Fits really well, and 100% operational.

One this I forgot to mention in the first post is fuse orientation. Make sure the "hot" side of the fuse block goes to the non-pigtail end of the Tapa-Circuit. Otherwise the pigtail will have unfuse, constant power.

Good find. Beats my half-assed wiring. Need to get my hands on some. :c:

That's awesome. I will definitely be using these in the future. Thanks for the great find on these little guys. :tu:

Ive used one before only problem I had was could only find em in low amps like max of 10 or 15 they are great tho

What do you mean by this? The pig tail is 14 ga. wire, and you can put any size of fuse in there you want. 5, 10, 15, or even 30 amp.

Where is the original post? Am I missing something?

RAW 01-31-2012 07:51 AM

The original part of this thread is missing. I'll do a quick rewrite of it.

Instead of using these piggy back connectors to get fused power from the fuse box,

with the end result looking like this. Usually a connection that vibration effects and the wire falls off.

I came across these while at an electronics store, and they work amazing.

The RED fuse if for the original circuit in the fuse panel. The BLUE fuse is for the pigtail attached to the fuse body.

It yields a very clean way to get an extra, fused power source. Do remember the warning in post #6.

You should also change the thread name to 12 Volt power....often here 12V means 12 valve not 12 volts.

RAW 01-31-2012 09:14 PM

Good call, title has been adjusted. :c:
