A fuse tap (also known as an add-a-fuse) is a simple but critical accessory used when installing additional electrical equipment in a vehicle. Instead of splicing or cutting factory wiring, a fuse tap plugs into an existing fuse slot and provides a protected power take-off point.

This ensures:

• No damage to factory wiring

• Retained circuit protection

• Clean, reversible installations

For modern vehicles with tightly packed fuse boxes, using the correct fuse tap size is essential for safe and reliable operation.

Available Fuse Tap Sizes

This product is offered in three common automotive blade fuse families, matching the majority of vehicles on Indian roads:

• Standard (ATO / ATC) – Older vehicles, trucks, accessories

• Mini Blade Fuse – Most cars from the 2000s onward

• Micro Blade Fuse (Micro2) – Newer vehicles with compact fuse boxes

Each variant is sold as a set of 4 fuse taps, bundled with matching blade fuses.

What’s Included in Each Set

Depending on the selected size, each pack contains:

• 4 × Fuse taps of the selected size

• 4 × Matching blade fuses

• Pre-attached copper wire on each fuse tap

The wire termination is designed for quick crimping. Simply insert the accessory wire into the open end and press firmly using pliers to achieve a secure mechanical and electrical connection.

How the Fuse Tap Works

The fuse tap has two fuse slots:

• One slot holds the original fuse, preserving factory circuit protection

• The second slot holds a new fuse for the added accessory

When plugged into the fuse box:

• The original circuit functions as designed

• The new accessory receives protected power

• Load distribution remains safe and controlled

This design makes fuse taps suitable for accessories such as dash cameras, interior lighting, footwell lights, ambient lighting modules, USB chargers, and GPS units.

Installation Logic and Safety

Installation does not require soldering or special tools beyond basic pliers. Correct orientation is important so that current flows through the fuse before reaching the accessory. Always match the fuse tap size to the vehicle’s fuse box and use appropriate fuse ratings for the added device.

Variants / Options

• Standard (ATO / ATC) Fuse Tap – Set of 4 with fuses

• Mini Blade Fuse Tap – Set of 4 with fuses

• Micro Blade Fuse Tap – Set of 4 with fuses

Each size is sold separately.

Installation Logic / Behaviour Explanation

Once inserted into the fuse box, the tap draws power from the existing circuit while maintaining isolation between the factory load and the accessory load. The BCM or fuse box logic remains unaffected as long as correct fuse ratings are used.

Vehicle Compatibility

Supported Vehicles

• Volkswagen, Skoda, Hyundai, Kia, Tata, and other cars using blade fuses

Compatibility Note

Select the fuse tap size based on the physical fuse type used in your vehicle’s fuse box (Standard, Mini, or Micro).

Benefits

• No wire cutting or splicing

• Suitable for modern compact fuse boxes

• Ideal for multiple accessory installations

FAQs

Can I use these fuse taps for dashcams or footwell lights?
Yes. These fuse taps are commonly used for dashcams, ambient lights, and similar low-current accessories.

How do I secure the wire?
Insert the wire into the terminal opening and crimp it firmly using pliers.

Do these work with CANBUS systems?
Yes. Fuse taps do not interfere with CANBUS when installed correctly.

How do I choose the correct size?
Match the fuse tap to the physical fuse type in your vehicle’s fuse box.
