The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to
protect the wiring assembly between the fuse block and the system components.
MAXI FUSE
The MaxiFuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse elements. The MaxiFuse is designed to protect cables, normally between the
battery and fuse block, from both direct short circuits and resistive short circuits.
Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse element, the MaxiFuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the MaxiFuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance of nuisance blows.
MINIFUSE
The MiniFuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the Autofuse, the MiniFuse is usually used to protect the
wiring assembly between a fuse block and system components.
PACIFIC FUSE ELEMENT
The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible link, the fuses are designed to protect wiring from a
direct short to ground. These elements are easier to service and inspect than a fusible link.
