Fuseholders are essential components designed to securely hold fuses, providing a means to integrate them into electrical circuits safely. Their primary function is to offer a housing that both protects the fuse and ensures it functions correctly by maintaining a firm electrical connection. Fuseholders prevent potential electrical hazards by isolating the fuse and making replacement straightforward and safe without exposure to live parts.
Commonly used in both commercial and residential settings, fuseholders are integral to managing circuit protection in electrical appliances, automotive electronics, and power systems. They vary in design, from simple open fuse clips to enclosed fuse blocks, catering to specific voltage and current requirements. Notable manufacturers in this field include Littelfuse, Schurter, and Eaton, among others.
