What are Maxi fuses used for?
Maxi fuses are larger than ATO/ATC fuses and offer protection for high amperage vehicle circuits. They are a blade-type fuse designed to replace fusible links or fusible wire. The fuse link is completely enclosed to help protect against moisture and other corrosive or damaging elements.
Does the type of fuse matter?
The Type S fuse then screws into the adapter. A 15-amp Type S fits only a 15-amp base adapter. By contrast, a Type T fuse can fit into any Edison socket, regardless of the circuit’s amperage. If you have an old fuse box with Edison sockets, switching to socket adapters and Type S fuses makes the panel much safer.
What do you need to know about Maxi fuses?
With “Diffusion Pill Technology'” the MAXI® Fuse provides excellent time delay characteristics and low heat dissipation. Designed and patented by Littelfuse, the MAXI fuse is ideal for motor powered applications which have large inrush currents. 0299020. 0299025. 0299030. 0299035. 0299040. 0299050. 0299060. 0299070. 0299080.
What are the different types of fuses used?
Fuses are classified into basic categories: blade type fuses or cartridge type fuses. Several variations of each are used. COMMON FUSE TYPES The blade fuse and fuse element are by far the most commonly used today. Three different types of blade fuses exist: The Maxi Fuse, The Standard ATO fuse, and the Mini fuse.
What’s the difference between standard and mini fuses?
Fuse amperage color ratings for both the mini and standard ATO fuses are identical. However, the amperage color ratings of maxi fuses use a different color scheme. Color Ratings For STANDARD and MINI Fuses Fuse Amp Rating Identification Color 3 Violet 5 Tan 7.5 Brown 10 Red 15 Blue 20 Yellow 25 Colorless 30 Green CIRCUIT PROTECTION
What kind of Fuse is used for PCB mounting?
Fuses for high voltage applications are filled with sand or oil. This is to prevent arcing between the two ends of the fuse after it has blown. SMD variants of cartridge fuses also exist for direct PCB mounting. 2. AUTOMOTIVE FUSES These fuses are specifically designed for automotive systems that run up to 32V and occasionally 42V.

Is there a 32 volt Maxi blade fuse?
The 32 volt FK3 MAXI, ™ fuse is built in accordance with the UL 248-14,, Special Purpose Fuse standard. Agency approvals, vary for other versions of the MAXI™ style fuse. Littelfuse offers several variations of the maxi fuse and markets them using the MAXI™, FK3 MAXI™ and TOE MAXI, ™ brand names.
How long does it take for a Littelfuse fuse to open?
The average melting time for any current can be determined from the curve. For example, from Figure 1 it can be determined that a 20A MAXI Fuse experiencing an overload of 100A will open in about 0.5 seconds. At 40A, the same 20A MAXI Fuse would open in about 9 seconds.
What are the different sizes of Blade fuses?
Blade fuses (shown at right) come in six sizes, which are, from smallest to largest: Micro2 ®, Micro3 ®, Low Profile MINI ®, MINI®, ATO ® /ATC ® (also called “regular”) and MAXI ® or MAX. Blade fuses provide protection for amperage ratings up to 80A.
