Fuseholders are electronic components that act as a safe point of connection and disconnection for various electrical loads within a circuit. The fuseholder also provides an ample current path from the fuse element to the load. There are many types of fuseholders available on the market today, each designed to accommodate a specific type of fuse. The 3557-10 fuseholder is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and domestic applications and is designed for use in housed and enclosed fuseholders.

The 3557-10 fuseholder provides secure connections and features a rugged UL 94V-0 rated body, making it suitable for a wide variety of environments. It features a 10mm diameter pillar pin configuration and is designed for use with 10mm hemi-torpedo style fuses. The connected fuses feature push-in blades and the fuse holder has a spring-loaded button release for easy connection and removal of the fuse from the circuit.

This type of fuseholder is designed to provide protection to circuits with large currents of up to 30A. This is achieved through a combination of the fuseholder body, rated up to 1000 volts, and internal metal contacts connected to the fuse that are designed to withstand up to 30A current. When the fuse in the circuit is overloaded, current flowing through the fuseholder is momentarily interrupted before the fuse element melts. This ensures that the circuit is not damaged due to an overload.

The 3557-10 fuseholder is designed for use in a variety of both AC and DC circuits and is commonly used in domestic and industrial applications. It is also suitable for use in higher voltage applications, such as those found in certain industries. It is not usually suitable for use in extremely high temperature environments, as it is not rated for such high temperatures.

The 3557-10 fuseholder is typically installed by fastening the holder into a hole in the circuit board or other base material. It is also usually mounted in a plastic or metal enclosure so that it is protected from environmental factors such as vibration, extreme temperatures, and corrosion. The fuseholder is then wired directly to the circuit and the fuse element is inserted into the holder. The fuse element and the fuseholder should be matched correctly for the application in order to ensure that the circuit is properly protected.

In summary, the 3557-10 fuseholder is a reliable and durable electronic component for providing over-current protection in a variety of circuits. It provides a cost-effective solution for protecting circuits from overloading and features a rugged UL 94V-0 rated body, making it suitable for a wide variety of environments. The connected fuses feature push-in blades and the fuse holder has a spring-loaded button release for easy connection and removal of the fuse from the circuit, making installation and maintenance easy.
