I would think more along the lines of a fusible link. You have no power whatsoever? Horn? Brake lights? Anything at all? Those items should all have power regardless of the condition of the ignition switch. If you have absolutely no power, I'd go for fusible link over near the starter solenoid/relay on the fender or the cables that link from battery to the solenoid. Everything gets it's power fromt hat point.
