the terminals red and black have a metal washer ring in the center if using these for time coils cover these terminals with red heatshrink tubing for the red terminal and black for the black as these metal washers are live when the time coil is plugged in and if you happen to touch both the metal washer would be live as they surround the center pins of these plugs so are active then and can be dangerous even though you may think the sockets are plastic look carefully theres an uninsulated metal washer in the center

if the time coil has the plugs as long as they dont have screws in the sides which are tightened to hold the wires in then you be ok otherwise cover the whole plug if its got a screw in the side in heatshrink tubeing so it wont zapp you if you happen to grab one while its plugged in and switched on
