I need to wire a 12v USB plug into my half bath wiring closet. I have a 12v fuse box (see pic).

Can I take an open slot, like f20, put the hot wire on the blade and then is the silver section on the top right for hooking up ground wires?

I don't have any proper connections to put on the blade with me, so could I get away with twisting wire around blade and wrapping with electrical tape?

Edit: Actually, found a couple ends that fit on the blades. Not sure I have a proper crimp tool, but figure can make due with pliers or the like.

Just need to confirm that upper right silver piece is for the ground wire.

Yes, that is correct, open spade for your RED and add fuse after you connect the ground (white) to the upper right section. Super simple.


Thanks! That's what I thought, but wanted to be sure.

Pretty sure I have a box of connectors and crimp tool in my garage or RV garage -- but will check my bays when it stops raining in case they are in the RV. I didn't notice at first, but the USB setup was prewired with hardware to mount over a post, but they did include to spade connectors in the box as well. So, if I don't find my stuff here, while on this trip, I'll use a pair of needle nose to crimp, and then replace properly when I'm home. It also has an inline fuse, which I want to remove and replace with straight wire.

Since it has an inline 10amp, should
