Aerpro AP442 8Gx2-8Gx2 Fuse Block

Aerpro AP442 8GA to 8GA Dual AGU Fuse Distribution Block

The AP442 is an 8GA x2 to 8GA x2 fused distribution block from Aerpro, accepting two 8GA input cables and distributing to two 8GA output connections via two AGU glass fuses. Features spring steel fuse clips, gold-plated contacts, and hex set screw terminals. AGU fuses are not included.

Product overview

The Aerpro AP442 provides a fused distribution point for two 8GA cable runs, suitable for in-line circuit protection in car audio power distribution applications. The spring steel fuse clips retain AGU glass fuses securely under vibration, and the gold-plated contact surfaces maintain low-resistance connections at the fuse interface. Hex set screw terminals secure the 8GA cable connections without requiring specialist tools. AGU glass fuses are not included and must be sourced separately to the appropriate rating for the connected circuit.

Features and benefits

8GA x2 to 8GA x2 distribution: Accepts two 8GA input cable connections and distributes to two 8GA output connections, providing a fused split point for dual 8GA circuit runs in car audio power distribution installations.

Spring steel AGU fuse clips: Spring steel fuse clips hold two AGU glass fuses securely in position, maintaining reliable fuse contact under the vibration conditions common in vehicle audio installations.

Gold-plated contacts: Gold-plated contact surfaces at the fuse interface provide low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections for reliable long-term current transfer.

Hex set screw terminals: Hex set screw cable connections secure 8GA cables firmly without requiring specialist crimping tools, allowing straightforward installation with standard hex key hardware.

FAQ

What is the Aerpro AP442?

The AP442 is an 8GA x2 to 8GA x2 fused distribution block from Aerpro, accepting two 8GA input cables and distributing to two 8GA output connections via two AGU glass fuses.

Are AGU fuses included with the AP442?

No. The AP442 holds two AGU glass fuses but they are not included. AGU fuses of the correct rating for your connected circuit must be sourced separately. Contact us for guidance on compatible AGU fuse ratings for your application.

What cable size does the AP442 accept?

The AP442 accepts 8GA cable on both the input and output connections, with two input connections and two output connections secured by hex set screw terminals.

What type of fuse does the AP442 use?

The AP442 uses AGU glass fuses, held in position by spring steel fuse clips. Two AGU fuses are required to complete the circuit, one for each output run.

What applications is the AP442 suited to?

The AP442 is suited to fused power distribution in car audio installations where two 8GA circuits require in-line AGU fuse protection from a common source. Contact us for guidance on whether the AP442 suits your specific installation requirements.

Can the AP442 be used with cable sizes other than 8GA?

The AP442 is rated and designed for 8GA cable connections. Using cable sizes outside this rating is not recommended and may result in inadequate clamping force at the set screw terminals or insufficient current capacity for the connected circuit.
