Car fuse holder for PCB mounting

thingiverse

This project shows a specialized clip for attaching a standard 1A/2A/3A/5A/10A/15A automotive fuse to a printed circuit board. The connectors for the fuse clips are created by three millimeter wide solder tabs. These tabs bend into an "M" shape, and the free ends push through vertical channels in the holder leading to a recess beneath where the fuse fits. Then the actual 1A-15A automotive fuse pushes these metal clips firmly into place. To ensure secure contact, simply attach only the part of each clip protruding below the holder for soldering it onto the board. If there is an issue due to too small holes on your printed circuit board then use wire for attaching the clips instead. Cut short lengths from a twenty-gauge solid copper wire with about 0.8 millimeter in diameter, and slide these through channels leading upwards along with a series of holes running horizontally into compartments under the fuse holer, so they meet part way with tabs placed previously in cavities above each hole's lower section on this object below you will also notice small openings near edges that allow more clearance while placing components side-by-side across an entire width at once because space available sometimes differs between different products such as RAMPS one point four versions made today
