Fuse Holders

Our fuse holders and fuse blocks are for audio installers who need to protect power wiring at the battery or split power across circuits. Match the fuse format, cable connection and circuit count to the job, then size the fuse to protect the wire.

Match ANL and Mini-ANL Fuse Holders to Your Wiring

ANL and Mini-ANL fuses use different physical formats, so the holder must fit the fuse you plan to install. The Elite Audio EA-ANLFH is an ANL holder for 0/4-gauge connections. The AudioControl EPIC ACEFH is another ANL holder, with 0-8-gauge connections named in its title. For a holder that accepts ANL and Mini-ANL/AFS fuses, consider the AudioControl ACPDBLNK Flexlink. Match the fuse type and cable or lug connection to your installation, and measure available mounting room.

Choose the Right Number of Fuse Positions

A single fuse holder protects one power run. Multi-position fuse blocks can distribute power to several separately fused runs, which helps organize a system with multiple amplifiers. SMD models range from single and double blocks to larger multi-position layouts. The SMD FB-2 Double Fuse Block has two positions, while the SMD MFB-2 Premium Mini ANL Fuse Block uses the Mini-ANL format.

• Fuse format: Match the holder to ANL, Mini-ANL or another specified fuse style.
• Wire connection: Match the cable gauge or lug size to the holder terminals.
• Fuse rating: Size each fuse for the connected wire and equipment guidance.
• Included hardware: Confirm whether fuses, covers and terminal hardware are supplied.

Mount and Size the Fuse Block Safely

Place the main fuse close to the battery to protect the power cable along its run. Keep exposed terminals insulated and fasten connections securely. A large holder does not make a high fuse rating safe for undersized wire. Follow the equipment maker's current and voltage limits, and confirm each branch fuse suits its cable and connected gear. Leave room to reach the fuses for inspection or replacement.

Pair a holder with the right car audio fuses, or organize multiple power runs with fused distribution blocks. For more SMD formats, see our SMD fuse blocks.
