Description
This breadboard-compatible fuse holder is ideal for prototyping and experimentation. It was originally designed to be soldered into a circuit board and is compatible with most breadboard pitch perfboards; however, it can also be used with solderless breadboards. The holder is designed for 5x20mm fuses and is suitable for use up to 6A and 250V. The fuse is easily pressed into its clips and protected by a latching plastic cover.
Fuses are a vital part of any project, and having a method of easily installing them and replacing them is just as important. A fuse is used as a sacrificial part that will interrupt the current flow when it exceeds its rated value. When correctly used, this will help protect a circuit from damage caused by short circuits or other unexpected draws. This holder is an easy way to add fuse protection to your circuit!
