## **Applications** 

## **Description** 

Space-saving MIDI[®] fuses protect high-current wiring harnesses. The bolt-down automotive fuses employ diffusion pill technology to offer time-delay characteristics. Use MIDI fuses with ratings of 150 A to 200 A only for short circuit protection. 

aa Cars Offroad vehicles a Trucks a Buses aa SUVs Watercraft as approved by Littelfuse[®] 

## **Features & Benefits** 

a Color-coded ampere labels aid identification a Clear tops make it easy to see when fuse blows a Available with one or two mounting holes a Compact design and light weight enable greater circuit protection in less space
