We distribute a comprehensive range of fuse blocks, fuse holders, and accessories makes fuse installation and replacement easy for automotive, electronic, and industrial applications. Fuse holders are designed to secure various fuse types, such as blade, bolt-down, cartridge, link, radial, rectangular, threaded, and more. They come with different termination options, including bolt-down, box lug, crimp, quick connect, solder, screw, wire lead, and through-hole, and are available for fuse sizes like mini ATO, ATC, radial, and custom non-standard sizes. Options range from single fuse holders to models that accommodate up to 60 fuses.
What are Fuse Blocks? Fuse blocks distribute power to multiple circuits, each protected by an individual fuse. Acting as gatekeepers, they prevent power surges from damaging equipment. Instead of separate fuses for each circuit, a fuse block consolidates them in a centralized location. Available in a variety of sizes and styles, they accommodate a wide range of fuse types.
Fuse Holders for Electronics Fuse holders, fuses, and clips are vital to protecting electrical circuits from voltage spikes and surges. Available in various sizes and styles, they easily mount onto electrical panels or surfaces. Many fuse holders feature LED indicators to show when a fuse has blown, and clear covers protect fuses from dirt and debris, ensuring easy use and maintenance.
Automotive Fuse Blocks Designed for power distribution in 12V and 24V automotive, marine, motorcycle, RV, and other systems, automotive fuse blocks support 2 to 12 circuits. Most models use ATC fuses, with options for AGC, AGU, and ANL fuses for higher power applications. Some blocks feature clear covers, and configurations can be independent, requiring two wires per fuse, or ganged, sharing power among all circuits.
Importance of Fuse Blocks Fuse blocks play a critical role in protecting electronics from excessive current. When a current exceeds a set limit, the fuse melts, breaking the circuit and preventing damage due to overcurrent or short circuits. They are versatile and compatible with various fuse types, making them essential in any electrical circuit for ensuring device safety and longevity.
Why the Right Fuse Matters
- Overcurrent Protection: The correct fuse prevents circuit and device damage by reliably blowing when the current exceeds safe levels.
- Fire Hazard Prevention: Incorrect fuses may not blow during overloads, leading to overheating and fire risks.
- Equipment Protection: Fuses with the proper rating ensure sensitive electronics are protected from surges.
- Circuit Integrity: Using a fuse with the correct rating avoids unnecessary interruptions during normal operation.
- Safety Compliance: Correct fuse use ensures compliance with safety standards, reducing legal and insurance risks.
Fuse Holders and Modular Solutions Most fuse holders are available in single, multiple, or modular styles to fit industrial overcurrent protection applications. Modular and terminal block fuse holders provide a space-saving DIN-rail mounting solution, supporting a variety of fuse types, from small, fast-acting glass fuses to time-delay Class J fuses.
