Circuit Protection What Type of Fuse do I Need? DC (automotive) fuses are offered in two basic forms: Blade or Bolt Down. Blade & Cartridge fuses can be hand inserted into a fuse holder. These fuses provide protection for several amperage ratings up to 80A. They are well suited to protect smaller to medium diameter wires that are usually some distance from the battery. Single blade fuse holders are often called ‘In-Line’ fuse holders as they are spliced into the wiring. Remember to place the fuse holder as close to the battery and as far away from the load as possible, so that it protects the...

Understanding how circuit protection works is a key to diagnosing automotive electrical problems. When a fuse blows, that means the fuse is doing its job — sending you a message that something needs to be fixed. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A FUSE? A fuse is a safety valve. It is designed to stop current from exceeding the rating of the wires or components. Without fuses, excessive current could cause damage to electrical systems, and even result in fires. In general, a fuse has a simple construction. The key component is the ­ “element” — a short piece of metal wire or strap. WHAT CAUSES A FUSE TO...

Fuseology Beware of Counterfeit Fuses Voltage Rating At first glance, it’s hard to tell the difference between a genuine Littelfuse blade fuse and a counterfeit. The counterfeit may have the same physical dimensions, but using it can be dangerous because it fails to perform to the stringent performance and safety specifications developed by Littelfuse and the OEMs. The voltage rating, marked on every fuse, indicates the maximum voltage at which the fuse is designed to operate safely if an overcurrent occurs. In many cases, the elements in counterfeit fuses do not correspond with the amperage...
