What Is a Fuse Clip?

A fuse clip is a simple but critical electrical contact component, designed to clamp and fix cartridge fuses firmly. It provides stable electrical connection between the fuse and the circuit board or wiring, realizing current transmission and reliable overcurrent protection.

Different from integral fuse holders, fuse clips are lightweight, compact and low-cost, widely used in PCB internal circuits, small electronic devices and limited-space installation scenarios.

Core Functions of Fuse Clip

Firmly hold tubular fuses to prevent loosening and poor contact
Conduct current stably with low contact resistance
Reduce temperature rise during long-term rated current operation
Insulate and isolate tiny electric arcs when the fuse blows
Support quick fuse replacement without complex disassembly

Common Types of Fuse Clips

PCB Mount Fuse ClipWelded directly on printed circuit boards, vertical or horizontal installation.Mainly match 5x20mm, 6x30mm, 10x38mm cartridge fuses, the most widely used type for electronic products.
Automotive Fuse ClipSpecially designed for blade fuses, installed inside automotive fuse boxes, with anti-vibration and high-temperature resistance features.
High Current Fuse ClipThick copper material, suitable for high-power equipment, industrial power distribution and high-current circuit modules.

Material & Features

High-quality brass / phosphor bronze material, good conductivity
Nickel-plated surface, anti-rust and anti-oxidation
Flame-retardant plastic positioning base
Strong elasticity, not easy to deform after long-term use

Main Applications

Household appliances, switching power supplies, automotive electronic modules, industrial control boards, solar controllers, communication equipment and small electrical circuit protection.
