What Is Covered Under Automotive Fuse Market?

An automotive fuse is defined as an electrical component used in automobiles that protects other components, electronics, and cables from damage caused by excessive current flow. All fuses have a rating which refers to the maximum amount of amperage/voltage that the fuse can handle before it fails. The main types of the automotive fuse by fuse type include blade, glass tube, semiconductor, and others. Blade fuses are used in cars built today while fuses have a plastic body with two metal prongs. Glass tubes are used in an assortment of vehicles and accessory applications. Semiconductor fuses are used in limiting current. By voltage, automotive fuses are segmented into 12 and 24V, 24-48V, 49-150V, 151-300V, and >300V. By application, automotive fuses are segmented into auxiliary fuse, charge inlet fuse, battery fuse, and engine fuse. Automotive fuses are mainly used in passenger cars and commercial vehicles and sold through OEM and aftermarket sales channels.
