<div style="font-size:10pt"><div dir="auto">Fuseable links are a specific resistance over specific length . the amount of resistance is determined by the gauge of the wire in the Fuseable link. It's sold at some places by the foot and other places in tiny rolled up bits in blister packs. The Fuseable link wire is designed to melt ( burn apart) if the current draw exceeds the links ability to flow current end to end over its predetermined measured length by manufacturers in a specific application.</div><div dir="auto">Its frequently used in starting circuits right at the starter solenoid. </div><div dir="auto">Certain manufacturers use measured lengths of specific gauge wire in ignition circuits to trigger electric tachometers. Other interesting applications of specific wire applications , GM for a number of years had ignition resistors online between the ignition and the coil. Then GM went to a specific gauge wire in a
specific length through the wire harness to convey power to the coil making up the required resistance.</div><div dir="auto">Another trick manufacturers do is hide diodes wrapped in the harness. </div><div dir="auto">But Fuseable link is used far more frequently than anyone can imagine.</div><div dir="auto">Not remembering the resistance values, I know of 3 colors of the link shielding, gray, orange and brown.
