A fuseholder is a device used to connect a fuse to an electrical circuit. Fuseholders can range from simple open screw clamps to specialized trays in the form of open-top blocks. Some specialized fuse holders, such as those used in automotive applications, clip the fuse into place. No matter the style or design, their purpose is to safely contain and protect the electrical connection from unintended disconnection during operation or maintenance.
The LINK002M.Z is a fuseholder designed for mounting in an electrical panel, junction box, or directly to a wall. It consists of a plastic housing that contains two mounting holes and a terminal block with two mounting lugs. The terminal block, which is secured to the housing with two screws, has two fuse holders with two wires coming from it. The wires connect to the panel or wall and to the fuse.
The LINK002M.Z fuseholder is simple and easy to install, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent changes in current or voltage. It is UL listed, RoHS compliant, and meets CSA safety standards. The fuseholder is available in a wide range of current and voltage ratings, making it suitable for many applications, from low-voltage low-current AC/DC applications to high-voltage and high-current AC/DC applications.
The LINK002M.Z fuseholder is designed to protect circuits and wiring from overcurrent or short-circuit conditions. When a circuit carries current, the current flows through a fuse and then through the circuit. If the current exceeds the rating of the fuse, the heat generated melts the fuse link, which breaks the circuit, protecting the wire and other components from overload or short-circuit conditions.
The LINK002M.Z fuseholder has a unique heat dissipation feature that makes it safe to use in applications where high currents are present. The terminal block and the housing are designed to dissipate the heat generated when the current reaches the fuse’s threshold. This feature ensures that the fuseholder and its components remain safe when the fuse is employed as a overload protection device.
The LINK002M.Z fuseholder is the ideal choice for protecting circuits from overload and short-circuit conditions. It is easy to install and can be used in a wide range of applications where overcurrent protection is required. The fuseholder’s heat dissipation feature ensures that it remains safe when current reaches the fuse’s threshold. With its UL approved rating and RoHS compliance, it is the perfect choice for reliable protection.
