Fuses and fuse holders

Battery terminal fuses

Eaton’s Bussmann™ series BTF battery terminal fuses are engineered to deliver reliable circuit protection directly at the battery terminal. Each contains one or more fuse elements with varying amp ratings, allowing for multi-circuit protection in a single compact unit. These fuses are designed specifically to safeguard conductors rather than the devices connected to the circuits.

BTF battery terminal fuses are OEM-equivalent part numbers used in popular vehicle models from Chrysler, Ford, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercury, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Scion, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota dating back to 2001. Their direct-to-terminal mounting design ensures efficient installation and optimal performance in automotive electrical systems.

Whether you're replacing a factory-installed fuse or upgrading your vehicle’s circuit protection, Eaton Bussmann BTF fuses offer a dependable solution.
