= Ghetto fuse holder ----------------------- Need to add a fuse to something? Don't have a fancy inline fuse holder to hand? Make a ghetto fuse holder! = Parts -----------------------* Heatshrink tubing * A small spring * Wire * Soldering iron It's probably best if both the fuse and the heatshrink tubing is clear, to allow visual inspections.
Cut the spring in half and solder a wire to each piece.
Insert all the parts into the heatshrink tubing.
Apply a little heat. Start at the edges, near the wire. The heatshrink will contract and grip the spring. Heat a little closer to the fuse and it will contract further, but this time it will compress the spring slightly and make a solid connection. = Replacing the fuse ----------------------- Replacing the fuse should be pretty simple - cut the heatshrink with a sharp knife, remove it from all three parts, and just put it back together!
