Car fuse holders
« on: December 10, 2023, 02:21:19 pm »
Where to get car style fuse holders? What I find online usualy come with short wires atached. Is there some fuse holders made to crimp or solder the wires on them?

So, I'm into ham radio. Because I wanto to be able to move around my radio, I'd like to have multiple DC power leads. At my workbench, my car, my station, whatever.
So I thought I have plenty of thick wire, why not make my own. But leads come with fuses. Sure you can buy leads, but can be dodgy cross section or expensive or I want them a bit shorter or longer.

Something like this t.ly/eVQWh just without the wire?

This is what original cable looks like.

What about something like this?  I just ordered one for a LED undercabinet lighting project I'm preparing to do.

Something like this would be eqivalent t.ly/Njfh3 but they all seem to have red wire which I would need to connect on both sides again. And why always red??

Then there is something like this t.ly/Yj-Je which I don't know how trustworthy is on current rating and reliability or how thick wire are they for.

Probably because they are for automotive/cars where the fuse normally goes in the positive lead and rarely the negative. In most cars, red is the standard color for a positive power lead.

Makes sense. We buy these for positive and negative, and the supplier solves it by putting black heatshrink over the red wire.
