FX0462

Fuseholders are devices designed to hold and protect fuses in electric power circuits. In particular, the FX0462 is a fuseholder designed for use in electric circuits requiring over-current protection. It is a medium-range fuseholder which accommodates 5x20mm (3/16"x3/4") and 6x30mm (1/4"x1-1/4") fuses.

The FX0462 fuseholder is composed of several different components. Its main body, made from zinc alloy, encases the fuse and terminal wires. Above this is the front plate, and a spring-loaded shutter covers the fuse itself. This last piece helps to protect the fuse from accidental contact. The fuseholder also has two sets of mounting holes, one at each side, for mounting the fuse onto a circuit board.

The primary purpose of the FX0462 is to provide over-current protection for electric circuits. This is done by limiting the current that passes through a circuit, thereby preventing excessive power from overloading the system. When the current flowing through the fuse exceeds a certain limit, the fuse blows, breaking the circuit and preventing further damage. The fuseholder\'s design helps to ensure that the circuit is not damaged by accidental contact with the fuse, such as when a user is tinkering with the wiring.

In addition to providing over-current protection, the FX0462 is also designed for durability. Its construction includes a sturdy zinc alloy body to ensure that the fuseholder can stand up to years of use and wear. The spring-loaded shutter also helps to protect the fuse from damaging impact. For additional safety, the fuseholder conforms to UL, CSA, and other worldwide safety standards.

The FX0462 fuseholder is a versatile and reliable solution for electric circuits requiring over-current protection. Its durable construction and conformity to safety standards make it a sound choice for any circuit. The incorporation of a spring-loaded shutter further adds to its usefulness, providing an effective solution for protection against accidental contact and damage.
