The picture doesn't really tell the story, but I was trying to capture 

how much neater the fuseblocks are when used with 90-degree push-ons.  

It looks like the wires are coming straight out in the picture.  Part of 

this is the angle of the shot, and part of it is that the flip down 

panel pulls the wires away from the fuseblock.  With the swithpanel in 

the closed position, all the wires lay nicely down the side of the 

fuseblock.

Ernest,
	




Bought some of those 90° "flag" Fastons at the time for special cases, 

but had little use for them : I discovered that they are far weaker at 

the junction of the crimp and 90° push on portion. So I stuck as much as 

I could to the regular and more robust Fastons.

Besides, I found that using 90°s was putting each wire really really 

close to the adjacent tab on the fuse block. And providing an ample 

service loop was more difficult without a sharp angle just at the crimp.



Sooo, since I consider a nice row of well proportioned service loops as 

very neat...



Best regards,
