Fuse Holders

Fuse holders are definitely a necessity to any car audio system. The reason for this is because you will surely need some place to put your fuse and make connections. And that’s exactly what a fuse holder does. In short, fuse holders are miniature devices that contain, shield and mount your fuses. With the use of fuse holders, blown fuses can be changed easily and quickly.

All fuse holders are waterproof, vibration resistant, and can indicate blow fuses. These fuse holders will surely give your fuses the needed protection from the heat coming out of the battery and also the weather. All fuse holders have two sides. One of which is for power input from the battery while the other is for power output. Some fuse holders are transparent so you will be able to see the fuse through the plastic casing.

Now, when it comes to gauges of wires, most fuse holders can connect to 4 or 8 gauge wires. This can fuse around twenty to three hundred sixty amps of power! Just like fuses, fuse holders come in three types, which are specifically designed to hold the same three types of fuses – the ANL, AGU, and MAXI. Thus, fuse holders can be a barrel fuse holder, a blade fuse holder, a wafer fuse holder or ANL fuse holder.

Other than that, fuse holders are divided into two basic types which are the open fuse holders and the fully enclosed fuse holders. The open fuse holders are fuse blocks, socket, plug-on cap, and fuse clips, while the fully closed holders are the ones that use a fuse transporter placed into a holder.
An in line fuse holder holds glass type fuses or Bosch type fuses that were commonly used in older European automobiles. An inline fuse holder can be easily found in auto and electrical stores as well as online.

There are many kinds of holders available on the internet. Among the many types of holders, you will be able to find the 300 amp inline fuse holder ANL class, low profile fuse holders for lower fuse requirements, inline car fuse holder for your car’s audio system and the AC in line fuse holder.
