Piggyback Fuse Holder - Mini Blade with 3amp fuse | ACC76M

The piggyback fuse holders have become a popular method of providing power to the reversing camera system due to their ease and simplicity. We provide a 3 amp fuse that fits in the top slot which is the correct rating for all of our reversing camera kits, the lower slot will accept the original fuse to whatever circuit you are tapping off. You then attach the red wire to the power supply of the monitor either with the crimp, or by cutting that off and soldering (our preferred method).

When it comes to fitting you will have to remember the following precautions:

1. Select a non-critical circuit ie avoid ABS/Airbags/ECU etc.
2. Select a switched 12/24V supply to avoid the system draining battery when parked up.
3. Fusetaps are suitable for low amp connections, reversing camera kits are usually fitted with 3-5amp fuses. You will need to ensure that the fuse installed in the original circuit that you wish to tap off is greater than the fuse supplied with the fuse tap.
4. We provide a 5 amp fuse with this fuse tap.
5. **MOST IMPORTANT** On fuse boards you have a "hot" side, which is where the power enters the fuse. You must ensure that the left side of the fuse (the side opposite where the red wire is connected) is inserted in to this "hot" side - inserting the wrong way around would mean that the fuse is bypassed and protection is removed.
