Hi Steve:
Though I'm not using that specific holder, I AM using a blade-type
fuse holder, model 115LF ($2.95) , (purchased from www.wb0w.com (no,
actually purchased from www.gcplus.com, the
connectors/terminals/fuses side of his company, run by his XYL,
Jean). This fuse holder uses #8 wire and I have experienced NO
problems whatsoever. Jean also offers blade-type fuse holders with
#10 wire (#111LF, $0.95).
To join the two wires, I use a home=made butt-joint connector
fashioned from a 3/4" length of brass (hobby) tubing purchased at my
nearby hardware store. I Stripped the ends of the two wires to 3/8"
each, bought a length of hobby brass tubing which would just barely
accept #10 wire, slipped one wire into the tubing and soldered it
into place, filling the empty 3/8" of the tubing about 1/3 full of
solder as well. Then I inserted the other wire, reheated the joint
and pushed the wire into the tubing. The solder flowed to the new
wire, a bit dropped to the floor, and the rest completely filled the
tubing. I then applied 2 layers of heatshrink tubing over the finished joint.
Worked like a champ.
