Does anyone know if this company is still in business: http://www.mihdirect.biz/   

My emails are without reply.  

   

Does anyone know of another source for these fuse blocks, to be mounted in the main panel of an RV9 ?

Jef,



You can order these over the internet in a variety of configurations from:



http://www.kirbyrisk.com/



Search for 15711 and 15712 to see the variety of single and dual bus configurations.   You will need a data sheet to help you sort these options out if you don't already have one.



If you are going to want a terminal removal tool, you might order it at the same time.



You will have to order the Packcon III terminals elsewhere I think.



You can ignore all of the stuff about opening an account if you are just placing a credit card order.

Jef...



The Bussman fuse blocks use separate terminals that are crimped to the wire then inserted into the fuse block.  This requires the use of the appropriate crimper.  The terminal is what determines the wire size.   The terminals are sized for a range of wire sizes.  Most of the connections require the 18-22 size terminals as most feeders are in this range.  The max. wire size terminals are #10 which is typically fused at 30 amps which  is more suitably fused with a separate maxi fuse or fusable link.  The 10-16 size terminal crimp to #16 wire very well.  The only problem I had was crimping #22.  The tabs that form the crimp on the terminal are too large to reliably crimp this small a wire.  I carefully soldered the end of the wire opposite the end that exits the terminal being careful not to allow solder to wick down the wire past the end of the terminal.  (This will cause the wire to become solid and drastically increase the likelihood of fatigue failure at the terminal/wire interface).

There are no installation instructions as to the insertion of the terminals into the block.  For me it required trial and error with a couple of spare terminals to figure out the correct insertion orientation.  Be sue to get the terminal removal tool (it looks like a very small (10mm wide) two pronged fork).



Hope this helps...

Hi Chris,



Thanks for your reply, and I will contact Waytek.

I suppose you did use such fuse block on your rv.



According the MIH website the fuse block is for 20-12 AWG wire size; however

the Bussmann datasheet

 http://www.bussmann.com/pdf/39dd59f2-bbbd-48b4-88cf-40977f474e1f.pdf  

mentions # 10-16 AWG.

How should I understand that or how did you solve that? 

Your help is very welcome; I'm just an amateur.

Hello Ron,

Waytek has sold them although I don't see them in the current web catalog.  They are a terminal removal tool for the BUSSMANN 15712-14-06-21A (Waytek 46074)  The Waytek terminal P/N is 46074 for the Bussman blocks for which the removal tool is designed.



I can send you a sketch.  Very easy to make from a piece of ~.030-.040 thick steel.
