Finger Safety- Why It Matters

The majority of “open” terminals still being utilized in Industry today are in the area of circuit protection, specifically Fuse Holders.  These components were the standard - many years ago - now, not so much !!  It’s obvious why - FINGER SAFETY - or lack thereof.  Exposing technicians, customers, electricians, engineers and managers to what may be LIVE, energized circuits.  Why embark on this journey when you don’t have to?  Why risk an injury or even worse? For a few cents more it may make sense!!  Besides being a major safety issue, many Countries will not accept open terminals of any sort so if you plan to ship outside of the USA.  We ask ourselves why this is STILL ok in the USA!?  You may need to consider a finger safe Fuseholder much like the ones that American Electrical, Inc.
