SOTAbeams Fuser 6 DC Distribution Boxes

SOTAbeams Fuser 6 DC Distribution Boxes are the lightest PowerPole® distribution boxes… by far! SOTABEAMS PowerPole® Fuser-6 boxes make light work of connecting five accessories to your power source (they have one input and 5 outputs). All of the connectors are individually fused. In a typical shack you might have a 100 Watt HF radio, a 50 watt 2m FM radio, an antenna tuner and a QRP rig all connected to your Fuser-6 - and still have a spare connector! Fuser-6 boxes are supplied with three 25 Amp and three 5 Amp fuses. Standard automotive blade fuses make replacement easy - these are widely available with values from 1 to 30 Amps. Fuser-6 units incorporate a polarity warning system; lights GREEN for CORRECT and RED for REVERSE. It's handy when you have a battery connected to the system to help avoid damage to your equipment if you accidentally get the battery connections reversed. Fuser-6 internal circuitry is rated at 25 Amps (30 Amp surge); no mean feat for a PCB design. To achieve SOTAbeams had to use a special PCB with double weight copper. They also use a clever design to further improve the current handling: ultra-wide copper tracks are used on both sides of the board. The boards are then roller tinned (on both sides) to reduce the resistance and handle heat even better. They use plated through holes, carefully located to ensure an even current distribution between each face of the board. Of course, Fuser-6 boards use genuine Anderson PCB contacts for lower contact resistance and improved reliability. NOTE: For best kit results use a soldering iron of at least 50 Watts. Additional flux is also helpful to ensure a good result. Additional details: * 25 Amps continuous, 30 Amps surge (adjacent connectors) * 1 input, 5 outputs * Power Bus resistance typically less than 1.80 milliohms end to end * Weight 135 g (less than 5 oz.) * W 68 x L 130 x H 40 mm (excluding connectors) 2.75 x 5 x 1.6 in. Whether you use one for your go kit, QRP setup or for use in the shack, these SOTAbeams Fuser 6 DC Distribution Boxes from DX Engineering are a handy DC power solution.
