Q: What are blade fuses?
A: Blade fuses, also known as spade or plug-in fuses, feature a plastic body with two metal prongs. They are commonly used in automotive and low-voltage DC applications.
Q: What amperage sizes are available?
A: The fuses range from 3A to 30A, each colour-coded for easy identification.
Q: How do I know which fuse is suitable for my needs?
A: Always match the fuse's amp rating to the original. Ensure the voltage rating is equal to or greater than required, and select the correct fuse type—fast-acting or time-delay—based on your circuit.
Q: Can I use a higher amp fuse to replace a blown one?
A: No. Using a higher amp fuse can damage equipment or wiring and create a fire risk.
Q: Are these fuses suitable for household use?
A: No. These fuses are intended for automotive, marine, and other 12V/24V DC systems—not for 240V household applications.
Q: Can these be used with fuse kits or hubs?
A: Yes. These standard blade fuses are compatible with the EGON DC-Hub and available as individual pieces or in assorted fuse kits.
Q: Are these fuses reusable?
A: No. Once a fuse has blown, it must be replaced.
