Like the title says, I can't find anything anywhere that tells me what size terminal connects to a standard mini fuse. I would just go to Radio Shack but all the ones near me have closed. Trying to order some parts online. all the relays tell you the terminal size but nothing on mini fuses.

thanks

No, the prongs on the fuses do not fit the standard push-on connectors properly.

An ATC (standard larger fuse) prong is 0.206" wide, so a 1/4" (.250) connector will work. I've used them. It's a sloppy fit, and only good for emergency use. They don't stay connected well.

The prong on the ATM (mini) fuses is .110" wide. You might get it to work with a 1/8" (.125") push on connector, but make sure you use the kind that has insulation over the entire connector, or you are likely to have a short. Again, only for short term emergency use.

Better yet, just buy a connector that is made for the fuse.

Perfect. That's exactly what I needed. Thank you. I'm about to start wiring up a fuse/relay box that uses mini fuses. So I shouldn't have any issues with shorts. The supply house im ordering from sells .110 connectors. Thanks again

Why don't you just buy a panel that is made for ATM fuses????
