Metra Electronics MAX50-10

The Maxi fuse is the “big brother” to the standard automotive fuse. Its larger surface area allows for better heat dissipation and a more secure fit in high-vibration environments, making it the preferred choice for main battery leads and under-hood distribution blocks.

Detailed Technical Specifications

1. High-Temperature Housing

• Heat Resistant: Molded from high-impact, translucent polycarbonate that won’t deform or melt under the constant current draw of heavy-duty accessories.
• Easy Identification: The housing is color-coded Red, adhering to global automotive standards for 50-Amp fuses, allowing for instant verification in a crowded fuse block.

2. Low-Resistance Conductors

• Tin-Plated Zinc Alloy: The blades are constructed from a high-conductivity zinc alloy with tin plating to prevent oxidation and ensure a low-resistance connection, reducing the risk of voltage drop in sensitive audio systems.
• Visible Fuse Element: The transparent “see-through” design allows for immediate diagnostic checks. If a short circuit occurs, the break in the S-shaped element is clearly visible through the top of the fuse.

3. Bulk Value Packaging

• 10-Piece Shop Pack: Buying in bulk reduces the per-unit cost by up to 50% compared to buying individual 2-packs at a retail auto parts store.
• Standard Dimensions: Fits all standard Maxi-style fuse holders (like the Install Bay IBMFH) and distribution blocks.
