FUSE HOLDER HD AGC 20A MAX
The "FUSE HOLDER HD AGC 20A MAX" refers to a heavy-duty (HD) inline fuse holder designed for AGC type fuses with a maximum rating of 20 amps. Here's a breakdown of its key features:
Type:
Inline Fuse Holder: This means it's designed to be spliced into an existing wire, allowing for easy fuse replacement and circuit protection.
HD (Heavy Duty): This indicates the holder is built for more demanding applications compared to standard models. It might have a more robust construction or use thicker wires to handle higher currents.
Fuse Compatibility:
AGC Fuses: This refers to a specific type of cylindrical glass tube fuse commonly used in automotive and some appliance applications.
20A Max: The holder is designed to accept AGC fuses with a maximum rating of 20 amps.
Applications:
HD AGC 20A fuse holders are suitable for various applications where a bit more durability and protection are needed compared to standard fuse holders. Some potential uses include:
Automotive: Protecting electrical circuits in vehicles, especially for accessories or aftermarket installations that might draw higher currents (e.g., fog lights, winches, stereos).
Appliances: Protecting circuits in some appliances, particularly older models or those with higher wattage motors (e.g., power tools, sump pumps).
Off-road Vehicles: Applications in ATVs, UTVs, or other off-road vehicles where durability and potential exposure to harsher conditions are factors.
Benefits:
Overcurrent Protection: Provides crucial protection for electrical circuits by interrupting the current flow if it exceeds the fuse rating, preventing damage to wiring and components.
Inline Design: Allows for easy replacement of a blown fuse without accessing a fuse box.
Heavy Duty Construction: Offers enhanced durability for demanding applications compared to standard fuse holders.
