Help finding blade fuse holder

[sailorbenji]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me find a replacement blade fuse holder. The only marking I can find on the existing one is "Made in Canada".

It seems unusual in that it has bottom entry terminals, but the mounting holes are on the side.

That means that it is mounted to a "wall", the terminals are underneath, but the fuses can be clearly seen from above. Il. All the ones I find have the mounting holes at the bottom, that is to say when mounted to a wall, the fuses end up facing the mounting wall, which would make access very difficult in its location.

It's a 6-way fuse box.

I've attached a very rough drawing of it. Anyone know, or seen one? I've tried the usuals like amazon and 12voltplanet etc.

I can't vouch for the supplier, but how about something like this..

Blue Sea Systems 5046 IP66 Compact Fuse Block 8 Circuit - Marine Electricals

Furneaux Riddall would be my usual supplier and they have a good choice at better prices..

Although in both the above, the fuses face you when mounted to a vertical panel.

Maybe small L brackets to turn the holder 90 degs ??

Thanks guys, all the ones linked I've found version of....as someone said, the difference is in all cases the fuses are on the side ie they face you when mounted on a vertical panel, whereas the one I have, the fuses slot in from the top when mounted on a vertical panel.....you wouldn't think it was such an usual thing!

The problem is the fuse box location is inside our nav seat, on the backside of the front face of the seat, so if I use any of the above, the fuses would be facing away from me...and very difficult to see and replace.

Have you tried a Google image search?

Can't you make a simple shelf to mount them on so that the ones that are available are upwards?

Anything's possible, of course, I was just hoping for a like-for-like swap...a 5 minute job rather than something longer!

Orientation understood now.. an elusive item..

These are modular and I think could essentially build out what you’re after. You’d need to buy 6 and slot them together

Isn't that a better arrangement? Why do you want to replace like with like?
