Fuses and Relays
Fuses and relays safeguard the vehicle’s electrical system by preventing overloads and managing power distribution. Though small, these components are critical to protecting major systems such as lighting, ignition, and infotainment. Using substandard fuses or relays can result in costly electrical failures.
ECT AutoCore Trading supplies a complete range of OEM fuses and relays, ensuring consistent reliability and maximum safety. Each product is sourced from trusted European suppliers and delivered in original packaging. With our comprehensive portfolio, we help workshops and distributors maintain electrical integrity in vehicles of all types
BLADE FUSES
At present, blade fuses are the global standard for automotive fuses and the most common fuse type used by automakers around the world. There are more electrical circuits on today’s vehicles. More circuits necessitate more fuses. Since space is at a premium, new types of fuses like multi fuses and more compact types are needed.
CARTRIDGE FUSES
Higher driving comfort led to the introduction of various new functions such as power windows, automatic wipers and air conditioning. A new type of fuses was needed - fuses that delayed the temperature rise accompanying high currents and therefore did not blow out immediately. The female part of the connection was also moved into some new fuses to improved reliability of the circuit. Fuses are more compact and more lightweight.
BOLT-DOWN FUSES
The Bolt down fuses are designed to protect heavy electrical cables that connect the battery and alternator. Designed to replace fusible links, which have less precise parameters. A strip fuse is a flat, bolt-down fuse element in housed and non-housed versions. The housed version has a window for visual inspection of the melting element. Typical applications can be found in diesel and battery powered vehicles.
CLASSIC FUSES
Fuses that are no longer used in new cars. Glass fuses in glass tubes with metal end caps that enclose the fusible element. Fuses vary in length and diameter according to amperage. Torpedo fuses were used in older model cars manufactured in Europe. A torpedo fuse consists of a heat resistant body with the fuse element, stretching over the exterior body of the fuse.
