Types of car fuses

Blade fuses (ATO/ATC): These are the most common fuses in modern cars. They have a rectangular shape and metal blades for easy installation. The amperage rating of a blade fuse is often printed on the fuse itself. For added clarity, the fuses have different colours. Blade fuses are often used for lighting, radios, and accessories.

Glass fuses: This older type of fuse consists of a glass tube with metal contacts at both ends. They are less common in modern cars, but you may still come across them. Glass fuses are also available in different amperage ratings.

In addition to the standard blade and glass fuses, there are specific fuses for certain applications. For example:

Mini fuses (APS/ATM): Smaller than standard blade fuses and often used in compact cars.

Maxi fuses (bolt-down fuses): Larger and suitable for heavy loads, such as air conditioning or electric windows.

What to look out for?

Car fuses are for single use only and should only be replaced if they have blown. A glance at the fuse is enough to determine if a fuse is still good. If the wire is broken or the strip has melted, you need to replace the fuse.

A blown fuse can have several causes, such as incorrect installation, too many consumers on one fuse, or problems with electrical components behind the fuse.

When purchasing a new one, pay attention to the colour code of the fuses. Each colour indicates a current rating. The value on the fuse indicates the maximum number of amperes the fuse can withstand.

Car fuses

Car fuses are essential components that protect the electrical systems in your car. Most car fuses are blade fuses and are located in holders within the fuse box. This is usually found under the dashboard or in the engine bay. Below you will find our range of fuses and holders.
