ZCASE® BMZB Series – 32V Battery-Mounted Fuse Holder with Busbar from Littlefuse

The Battery Mount ZCASE® Fuse Holder with Busbar (BMZB) series allows you to mount fusing directly to a post-style battery terminal. This series offers a compact solution with an integrated busbar, which consolidates complex wiring around a battery system, eliminating or reducing the need for additional wiring. By creating additional fusing locations outside of the main fuse box, these products help reduce cabling and assembly time and provide localized circuit protection without modifying the existing battery harness.
