Thread: Haynes Manual Build a Robot

That's a strip fuse. you can get proper holders for them that include the bolts and a protective case.

This appears to be the right holder, with bots and snapshut protective case: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavy-Dut...MAAOSwPIhZ6Kcd
Double check that is the right size case, as you can get midi and maxi strip fuses. I think you have the latter,.

Another alternative i have done at BW & FW sizes where the weight of bolts might hold you back, is soldered the wires onto the bare metal, and then heat shrinked the entire thing to encase it in a protective layer. This is a lot more lightweight than a proper holder. If you do that, write the rating of the fuse on the outer layer so its obvious to you and any tech checkers what the rating of the fuse is.

You can also get Midi & Maxi fuses off eBay, and in my experience cheaper than say from RS or other providers. Midi fuses are generally 20 to 80A, then heavy duty / maxi ones are 80 to over 250A (not all holders support stuff this highly rated). If you search ebay for "Midi fuse", you'll get all sorts of useful fuse related results for this hobby. You can also use car fuses ('Blade Fuse'), and relevant holders. Team Death use a mixture of both blade and midi/maxi fuses.
