Fuse Holder Manufacturers
Panel mount fuse holders will come in one of two forms; plastic or metal. The plastic fuse holders will be cheaper than their metal counterparts, made of Thermoplastic (UL 94V-0). Plastic fuse holders can also offer a light, as in Blown-Fuse Indicator, while metal fuse holders do not.
Metal fuse holders offer EMI shielding and RFI protection. Both types are offered in any number of sizes, each hold the most common fuse type; 3AG. One of the more common cut-outs is 0.500 inches {round cut}, and 0.475 inches {D cut}. An O-ring provides a water-tight seal on the front side of the panel for either fuse type. Most of the metal style fuse holders also have a Keep Chain to hold the fuse cap attached to the fuse holder body. Refer to this page for a listing of Fuse Holder Manufacturers, or here for Manufacturers of Fuse.
Remember that, like fuses, fuse holders need to be derated with temperature too. Check the manufacturers data sheet to insure that the fuse holder and fuse will operate at the maximum temperature the device will encounter.
