Car fuses

Car Fuses

Car fuses are fuse-type electrical devices that are designed to protect car electrical systems. Their main task is to interrupt the electrical circuit in the event of problems and to protect against damage, accidents and fire.

Voltage

Fuses are mainly designed for mobile vehicles such as cars, trucks and buses and therefore use voltages of the following types:

• 12 VDC
• 24 VDC
• 32 VDC
• 80 VDC

Types

Automotive fuses depending on the application and need are divided into three main categories. These types are generally determined by the method of installation, shape and size of the fuses and are divided into:

• blade
• flat
• cartridge

Blade-type automotive fuses are small buttons with two pins, and in the middle there is a fusible wire that burns when the electrical network is overloaded.

Blade

Blade-type automotive fuses are divided according to size mainly into:

• MINIVAL - 11mm
• UNIVAL - 19 mm
• MAXICOMPACT - 16 mm
• MAXIVAL - 29 mm

Flat

Flat or strip automotive fuses are elongated fuses on a plate that are mounted on a holder by means of a bolt. They are more resistant to load and are usually used at higher current values.

Flat automotive fuses are mainly divided into:

• MIDIVAL
• MEGACOMPACT
• MEGAVAL

Cartridge

Cartridge automotive fuses are fuses in a housing with pins that use a quick-connect assembly. They come in male and female versions that plug in and out like connectors.

Cartridge automotive fuses are classified as standard:

• JAPVAL
