More circuits necessitate more fuses. Since space is at a premium, new types of fuses like multi fuses and more compact types are needed.

CARTRIDGE fuses
Higher driving comfort led to the introduction of various new functions such as power windows, automatic wipers and air conditioning. A new type of fuses was needed - fuses that delayed the temperature rise accompanying high currents and therefore did not blow out immediately. The female part of the connection was also moved into some new fuses to improved reliability of the circuit. Fuses are more compact and more lightweight.

BOLT-DOWN fuses
The Bolt down fuses are designed to protect heavy electrical cables that connect the battery and alternator. Designed to replace fusible links, which have less precise parameters. A strip fuse is a flat, bolt-down fuse element in housed and non-housed versions. The housed version has a window for visual inspection of the melting element. Typical applications can be found in diesel and battery powered vehicles.
