Mixed Pack Of 9pc Low Profile Mini Micro Automotive Blade Fuses

Product Information

Once the crimping is done, use some force to tug on the add-a-fuse and wire so that nothing is loose. Connect that cable into the other end of the add-a-fuse (metal tube), then crimp them down together to make the connection. There may be a fuse for ignition off draw (IOD), which controls the drawing of electric current in a vehicle while it is shut off; removing this fuse while the vehicle is shut off for more than a few weeks will prevent excessive depletion of the battery. An inline fuse is often seen in add-on electrical accessories, where the manufacturer does not know the electrical current limit of the circuit you are going to patch into.

Bosch type fuses (also known as ceramic, porcelain, continental, torpedo, European, or GBC type fuses) are used in old (often European) automobiles. Some fuses or circuit breakers may nonetheless be placed elsewhere, such as near the cabin fan or air bag controller. Warranties granted by Littelfuse shall be deemed void for products used for any purpose not expressly set forth in applicable Littelfuse documentation. This low profile fuse is designed to mate with tuning fork terminals that provide additional weight and material savings in fuse box designs by eliminating the need for female box terminals.These SFE fuses all have a 1⁄ 4 inch diameter, and the length varies according to the rating of the fuse. They help us to identify popular products and understand your browsing habits so we can display relevant adverts to you. In total, you will need two add-a-fuses for your hardwire installation (one for a constant fuse, and another for the ignition-switched fuse) if you're installing with a traditional hardwiring kit.

Some are time delayed, slow reacting, or have leads for terminals used in circuits without a fuse holder. Regular (APR / ATC / ATO / ATS) blade-type fuses, also known as standard, were developed in 1976 as ATO by Littelfuse [2] for low voltage use in motor vehicles. This method offers a more professional-looking installation and is more secure in the long run than wrapping the wires around the legs of a fuse. Where space permits, a miniature circuit breaker is sometimes used to replace a blade-type fuse in the same fuse holder.To find out which fuse is right for you, you can either consult your vehicle owner's manual, Google the answer, or consult the dealership where you've previously purchased the vehicle. There are 4 variations of the add-a-fuse that we carry: Micro2 Fuse, Mini Fuse, ATO Fuse and Low-Profile Mini Fuse. Is there any caveat to replacing a low-profile fuse with a mini blade one when trying to hardwire a dash cam using an "add-a-circuit"? Also referred to as Current Limiting Fuses, they feature an internal fuse element that melts when current passing through the fuse element is within the specified current limiting range of the fuse. The Low Profile Mini fuse is an automotive blade fuse offering similar electrical characteristics as the standard MINI® fuse.

Blade fuses use a common coloring scheme for the Micro2, Micro3, low-profile (LP) Mini, Mini, and regular size fuses, and a partial color similarity with the maxi size fuses. This offers sufficient protection for that individual accessory, without regard to any other devices that might share the same circuit. The amperage rating of the fuse you select does not need to match the amperage rating of the fuse that we include. Ensure bulb type is correct for vehicle before purchase, vehicles sections must be used as a guide only. Many of the fuse dimensions and characteristics are published by the Society of Automotive Engineers as Standard SAE J 554.Lucas fuses have three ratings; the continuous current they are designed to carry, the instantaneous current at which they will fuse, and the continuous current at which they will also fuse. Dual slot fuse holders let you turn one fuse slot into two (in some way, similar to a power strip, but for fuses).

As the fuse element melts, it creates a high resistance to reduce the magnitude and duration of the current flowing through the fuse to protect the electrical circuit and connected equipment. The Lucas 1/4" diameter glass tube fuse have a different length as compared to the standard US item.

The Low Profile Mini fuse is designed to mate with tuning-fork terminals, which provides additional weight and material savings in fuse box designs by eliminating the need for female box terminals. The fuse tap turns a single fuse slot into two slots so you can protect the new accessory circuit as well as the existing circuit.
