reedal Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Whether it's the lug on plastic or a washer or nut, there's still going to be a metal connection with voltage and possible resistance touching plastic. The order in which you connect them won't matter in that aspect if you're trying to avoid voltage on plastic...

reedal Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I don't see how people say the set screw is less connection than a lug and bolt/nut Edit; not in this thread, but in past threads Edited July 6, 2015 by reedal Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32

The order in which you connect them won't matter in that aspect if you're trying to avoid voltage on plastic... i just want metal on both sides of the lug. So, leaving the washer on the bottom should do that. I may add a larger one if i still have clearence issues. just for more surface area.

audiofanaticz Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 The set screw ones like i got I dont care for but I get them because I dont want to solder a million lugs, in my case I got 18runs, 18 fuse holder, and would of been 36 lugs to solder. I really need to buy a crimpers badly though. LOL Why I dont like the setscrew type is because I crank my setscrews so damn tight that the tiny screw that holds the adapter to the plastic snapped. But thats not the products fault though since i like things super tight. Quote
Kyblack76 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 ive broken 6 blocks off just snugging the ss type up.... I dont really care for the FB's to be honest........ Ive done my own work to mine (adding a washer to the bottom fastener of the block, to not snap the plastic, used a mill to camfer the incoming of the block, used a larger gauge washer on the fuse fastener so it tightens better when the wire is shoved in, among other things) and ive still seen charcoaled fuses. I like the higher priced ones, but, these,.. i just dont know.... ive fought em for 2 years. Ive only ran the SS type Quote SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
Jessica Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 i hear ya. I lost my hydaulic crimpers when we moved, so now i'm waiting on another set to get here.
