Denali PowerHub 2 fuses: Mini = Mini ATC ?

[werdigo]

My PowerHub2 came yesterday and I went to the auto parts store to buy fuses. None identified as "Mini ATC" but I bought a pack marked "Mini."

Back home, I was unable to insert one of these "Mini" fuses into the hub despite some pretty hard pushing. Blade spacing is OK but the blades seem a little wide. (The Littlefuse site shows a blade width of 2.8 mm.) I guess I could apply even more force but don't want to damage the hub. The photo shows an attempt to insert a "Mini" fuse.

Punch line: Is there a difference between the "Mini" (Littlefuse brand) that I bought, and the "Mini ATC" that Denali specifies? Wikipedia 400 Bad Request has no "mini ATC" category.

Edit: Actually, the photo makes the fuse look OK. Guess I'll try more force.

It looks like you need "micro ATC" fuses not the "mini ATC".

It looks like you need "micro ATC" fuses not the "mini ATC".

Actually, after looking closely at that photo I tried my "mini" (non-"ATC") Littlefuses and with more force THEY FIT.

Sorry about the confusion. But maybe this will help somebody else.

Where did you mount the powerhub?

I need to replace a 7.5 A fuse after that burned out after trying to repair a junk LED add-on brake and tail light assembly that I bought on amazon - multiple wires pulled away from the solder and I had to guess where they went on the board and guessed wrong. I removed the offending accessory and used up the spare 7.5 A fuse. Super hard to tell when these fuses are blown I needed a 7X magnifying glass.

It's "Micro ATC" very similar to Mini ATC Fuses no real need for Micro but that didn't stop the "inventor" from filing patent 6359543 in 2001 as stamped on top of the fuse.
