6 Way Fuse Block With Negative Bus & Led

My new-to-me 4x4 needed some extra lights, fan, and other new circuits. The new fuse box is very compact for six circuits. It was easy to find a good spot for it under the hood. Rather than modifying the original wiring, this small fuse box allowed me to pull power directly from the battery. There is room for six fused circuits, and the incoming terminals are large enough to tap for a really large load if necessary. All new wiring can now be run from this fuse box and kept entirely separate from the original wiring. This will make troubleshooting anything much easier. The original wiring remains completely original. Six circuits was plenty and left a couple spares in case anything else needs to be added. A large sheet of tags is provided that can be stuck on the clear cover to identify circuits. Unfortunately, even with all those labels, two of my circuits didn't match up well with any of the labels. That's no big deal. These labels are small enough I can use the usually wasted margin area on a sticker sheet to print custom labels. I used relays to operate all the new circuits with power for switches coming from the accessory post on the factory terminal block. That way all circuits still shut off when the ignition key is turned off. One small problem was a large cable that really needed to come from a direction where the clear cover did not already have an opening. The cover could not be installed with that cable in the way. It was simple enough to carve a wider opening in the edge of the clear plastic cover to provide clearance for that cable.

I installed this under the dash of my F-150 for my amater radio feeds from the battery. I ran 8 gauge copper to feed it, and 10 gauge to the devices coming from it. I also use it for other things, like a LED light bar that lights up under the cover of my truck bed. In reduced light, you can't usually see under the cover from the tailgate, but with the 12 inch light bar, it is like daylight under the cover. I bought a case with multiple fuse values in it, and it allows me to select the correct fuse for each device I wire to it. The fuse block also has a row of LEDS, in red, one for each fuse, if the fuse blows, the LED shows which one it is. The fuse block is one of many i looked at, you can find them on many websites, but this model came quickly, and is made really well. It has a nice cover that goes over it once you wire things to it. I use ring lugs on each wire, so it makes for a very neat installation. I managed to hide 98% of ll the wire used, that is what I love about a F-150 .

This was a good price and great value. I like this has a positive and negative buss all in one box. I ran a 8 gauge wire to the back of the boat battery and ran my auxiliary devices off this as a central fuse box. Auxiliary lights, CTEK charge port and USB phone charger ports all have a nice and clean look with all wires and fuse in an easy to reach spot. The material is good and strong plastic with solid connector screws. It has a cover is durable and protects the connections from shorts The cover has openings for the wires that are not water proof, but splash resistant and the cover is well made.

I did not have the current-leakage problem that some other users have reported. If a problem arises in the LED driver circuit I will remove the LED board as another reviewer illustrates with photos. By the way, an LED lights only if its fuse is blown - it's a convenience feature to tell you which fuse blew. Also, the cover is not tall enough to fit a resettable ATC circuit breaker. On the plus side, I did need a ground bus and was surprised that some fuse blocks don't have one. For the 2 battery terminals, I found that ring terminals for #10 studs fit the 2 studs that the vendor specifies as "M5" studs. Likewise, for the 6 circuits, I round that ring terminals for #8 studs fit these "M4" studs. Those fork-shaped spades would also work (I just think the rings are more mechanically secure).

Let this 6-way fuse block serve all of your 12v power distribution needs. I used this block on an LED warning light install and it functioned exactly like the brand name blocks. Having both positive and negative power distribution on the same block eliminated the need for having two separate blocks, one for (+) and one for (-); and it ensures proper ground to each of your accessories. As with any install, make sure to use application/vehicle specific wire, appropriate wire gauge and ALWAYS fuse according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. P.S. The attached photo was prior to wire/cable management/securement. Also pictured is Tesa tape for exterior/engine compartment. It’s clean, doesn’t leave a sticky residue, is waterproof and flame/heat resistant. Certainly worth taking a look at for your next install.

Good product. Only issue I have with this item is the plastic cover doesnt allow for the main negative and positive cable to feed out of the side of it. So with a little modification that issue was resolved. Also I have no clue what the LEDs are for. They dont light up with the fuses in or out.

There are a lot of incorrect review on this product about voltage on the lines when there is no fuse attached. Proper operation when you connect power to this device and you have no loads connected, all LEDs should be off. By design, you should measure voltage on both sides of where the fuse would be. If you attach any load, then power on with no fuse installed, you should see the red LED turn on for any circuit with a load. If you measure the fuse location, you should see one side with the input voltage, and the other side will be zero. All fuse blocks with LED indicators work like this. The LED is in parallel with a 2.2k resistor. For my use of 5v, this would mean 2 ma of current is flowing. Do to that high resistance, the voltage drop causes the voltage to be 0, so none of your devices would be powered.

Used in a small boat build on an aluminum jon and it was great... Everything was done well and use was adequate. Recommend if you need to install a fuse box... Did blow a fuse and the indicator worked as described too... Good purchase

Rien à dire, correspond à ma demande

Ottimo prodotto per chi ha bisogno di avere più uscite dalla batteria del proprio veicolo senza andare a incasinare i poli stessi della batteria del cablaggio di serie del veicolo, dato che è possibile prelevare dalla scatola dei fusibili sia il polo positivo che il polo negativo della batteria rimanendo pur separati. lo consiglio vivamente per tutte le esigenze di un impianto a 12 volt indipendentemente che sia ad uso automobilistico o nautico nel caso di nautico con le dovute precauzioni con l'umidità e salsedine.

A great starting point for my VW van electrical upgrades. Just back from two weeks in southern Utah, this thing did the business and held up, was easy to install.

Used product in a solar system. Great solid construction. Was able to use 8 awg wire and lugs to the power input. Indicator lights all worked to identify fuse problems.

This is a great product and awesome value. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the face for the high current posts was below the plastic surface so I had to use a washer to bring that contact surface up above the plastic which would then allow for a solid clamp on the ring terminal, so I had to add some washers of my own to complete the setup. Hardly a deal breaker, would buy again.
