Automotive Fuses
What are automotive fuses?
Every
electric circuit within an automotive application will be protected by an
automotive fuse. The fuse contains a weak sacrificial link that breaks during
an overload or short circuit scenario to protect the rest of the electrical
system. Typically small and low in cost, automotive fuses are designed to break
when an electrical circuit experiences an overcurrent or short circuit. With an
increasing amount of electronics incorporated into vehicles, automotive fuses
are ideal for protecting electronic systems such as ECUs, control modules, and
other devices. Fuse types include numerous sizes of blade fuses and current
limiter fuses which are suitable for use within electric powered warehouse
vehicles such as forklift trucks and LLOPs.
What are
blade fuses?
Blade fuses
are the most common type of fuse found in modern cars and lorries, available in
a range of sizes including maxi blade, regular, mini blade and micro blade.
Maxi blade is for heavy duty vehicle applications, such as lorries, with the
other sizes decreasing in dimensions for more compact and less demanding
applications. Featuring a plastic body and metal prongs, automotive fuses are a
simple push fit into their respective fuse socket. Blade fuses follow a
standard colouring system that provides a visual indication to its current
rating, speeding up identification.
What other
types of automotive fuse are there?
Bosch fuses
can also be found in older European made cars. Easily identifiable, a Bosch
fuse has conical ends with dimensions of 6×25mm. These fuses are also known as
6AC, GBC or Torpedo fuses.
Lucas Fuses
are predominantly used in older cars manufactured in Britain, available in both
a ceramic fuse and glass tube fuse. The ceramic fuse is easily identifiable by
the canonical ends and is either 1 or 1.25 inches in length.
A current
limiting fuse reacts when its current responsive element is melted by a current
within the fuse’s specified current limiting range, introducing a high
resistance to reduce the current magnitude and duration, interrupting the
current to protect the electrical circuit and connected equipment. Current
limiting fuses come in all shapes and sizes for a wide range of different
applications.
Kempston
Controls stocks a wide and varied range of automotive fuses from market leading
brands such as Bussmann and Littelfuse designed
to suit whatever your automotive application requires. Give our dedicated sales
team a call on +44 (0) 1933 411411 or use the contact form above to discuss
