They're the same terminal spacing as a normal fuse, so yes.
I'm really not sure what problem those double fuses are supposed to solve.
Two circuits for only 33% more space than what one one fuse would take. But are they that cramped for space in fuse boxes?
In reply to Spearfishin :
Newer vehicles generally have two fuse boxes, one underhood and one in the dash. Some, like my Volvo or many GMs, have a third fuse box in the trunk or under the back seat. A fuse box may have 20-30 fuses and so many relays that they eliminate the relays in favor of solid state units that are part of the module. Because now it's a networked module and not just a fuse box.
So.... maybe?
(This is where I rant that BMW made the Mini with a fuse box separate from the BCM. On opposite sides of the car. With wrist thick wiring between the two.)
Omg! This thread gave me a WONDERFUL idea! These fuse holders can be installed BACKWARDS to convert an always-hot fuse to switched ignition! The tap can be used to FEED a fuse instead! This is Good if you are using an engine computer that can't see voltage on the power side of controlled relays when the ignition is off. I had been dreading installing a forest of relays to combat this issue. Relays aren't $6 anymore...
