This fuse holder from the Eaton range is a reliable mounting point for fuses in electrical circuits. It has two halves that lock together when the fuse is placed between them, offering secure housing and ease of replacement.

• High temperature resistance up to +150°C for use in demanding environments

First, ensure that the electrical ratings of this fuse holder are the same or similar to the fuse connected to it. Second, it's important to ensure your crimping is done properly to avoid any contact with other external cabling, as this could cause the fuse to break.

• High temperature, flame retardant, phenolic meets UL 94 HB

Inline fuse holders are called inline as they are fitted in to a cable rather than in a piece of equipment. As fuses are usually replaceable, most fuse holders have a connection system designed to allow the fuse to be changed quickly with ease. Simply put they are an enclosure or housing that hold the fuse in a wiring circuit allowing it to do it's job of protecting against power overloads, the fuse itself will either cause the wire to heat up and melt or burn itself out to protect the remaining circuit.

In-line fuse holders are used in a wide range of electrical and electronic applications. Some of the most common are
