This range of Red Spot fuse holders are also known as finger-safe fuse holders, originally created and designed to be used with BS88 fuses. These types of fuse holders will predominantly be found within industrial and commercial environments. The rail mount fuse holders contain fuses that are slotted into sets with metal contacts.

• Red Spot range of fuse holders are industry standard for protecting utility and industrial installations
• Anti-vibration and the large contact system ensures a perfect carrier contact alignment and superior electrical contact
• Each conductor insulating sleeve help to prevent inadvertent contact at the entry point whilst fully shrouded terminals deliver an IP20 rating. (Holding an IP20 rating means that the fuse holder has ingress protection against solid objects up to 12 mm - such as a person's finger and no protection against liquids)
• The parts are moulded, constructed from flame-retardant, non-hygroscopic, high dielectric strength phenolic material
• Red Spot fuse holders range offers a multitude of different accessories and Bussman fuses
• Designed to protect applications from potentially devastating effects of low, short circuits and overvoltage conditions
• Compatible with standard and motor rated fuses
• Taper shank fuse fixing screws ensure easy re-entry
• Large fuse carriers contact areas for low resistance and longer life
• Full shrouded construction

One of the main functions of a rail mount fuse holder is to offer circuit protection, it is to also offer protection to both the user and the equipment in the event of a circuit overload within any given application.

This Eaton fuse holder is designed to help you mount BS88 fuses safely without the need for tools. As it features housing made of a durable and flame-retardant phenolic material, this fuse holder is suitable for long-term use in demanding environments.
It's easy to install this holder via its metal stud contacts. These attach simply to your DIN rail, providing a quick and safe mounting solution. It's compatible with a variety of high rupturing capacity (HRC) fuses and is commonly found in commercial installations.

• Anti-vibration system ensures there's no contact break and the connection is secure
• Compatible with both standard and motor-rated fuses for versatility
• Large fuse-carrier contact areas for reduced resistance and improved lifespan
• Taper-shank fixing screws ease fuse re-entry, saving you time and effort

A fuse is a replaceable circuit protection device that protects a piece of equipment and its operator from overcurrent and short circuits. A fuse holder, on the other hand, is a device that's mounted on the piece of equipment to carry the fuse.
