Littelfuse Midi Bolt-down Fuse 70a, 498 Series, 32vdc, Time Delay, 0498070

The Little fuse MIDI Bolt Down Fuse 70A is a versatile fuse used for various high-current applications, primarily in automotive and industrial settings. Here's a breakdown of its usage:

General Applications:

• Circuit protection: It safeguards electrical circuits against overcurrents that could damage equipment or cause fires.
• Inrush current handling: Its time-delay characteristic allows for temporary surges (like motor startup) without blowing prematurely.
• High-current applications: Suitable for circuits carrying up to 70 amps, making it ideal for heavy-duty equipment.

Specific Uses:

• Automotive: Protecting starter motors, battery cables, and other high-current circuits in cars, trucks, and boats.
• Industrial: Safeguarding industrial equipment like motors, pumps, and control systems.
• Renewable energy: Protecting battery banks and inverters in solar and wind power systems.
• Marine: Protecting electrical circuits on boats and yachts.

Important Considerations:

• Voltage rating: Ensure the fuse's voltage rating (32VDC in this case) matches the circuit voltage.
• Time delay: The time delay allows for harmless inrush currents but might not offer immediate protection against sustained overloads.
• Fuse holder compatibility: Use the appropriate MIDI fuse holder for proper installation and secure connection.
• Replacement: Always replace a blown fuse with the same type and rating to maintain proper circuit protection.
