Description
Overview:
Littelfuse MAXI Blade Fuses, 40 A, are heavy‐duty plug‐in fuses used to protect high‐current circuits on 12 V and 24 V DC systems. Supplied as a pack of 10, each fuse uses a durable thermoplastic body with metal blades for a secure, low‐resistance connection in standard MAXI fuse holders and automotive fuse boxes. The orange, value‐coded housing helps quick identification during diagnostics. These are suitable for cars, vans, 4x4s, trailers, plant, agricultural machinery and garden equipment with MAXI fuse positions. Rated to interrupt overcurrent safely, they help prevent wiring damage and component failure across lighting, heater, fan, pump and auxiliary power circuits. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 235 573.
