Tech Tip #14 Front Load Technology

Front Load Technology on a wiring panel or a fuse box, is where there is a terminal block to make your wiring connections. Most aftermarket fuse boxes have the wires enter the rear, which is fine for a factory car. It is not such a good idea for a vehicle that needs different connections than a similar factory car would have. Front loading style terminal blocks will also enable the job to be very neat, and perhaps safer. If a wire should need to be replaced for ANY reason, a rear loading installation will require removing the fuse box. When installing such a device, think about how you will access the back of the panel.
