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.Its frequently used in starting circuits right at the starter
solenoid.  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.Another trick manufacturers
do is hide diodes wrapped in the harness.  But Fuseable link is used far
more frequently than anyone can imagine.Not remembering the resistance values,
I know of 3 colors of the link shielding, gray, orange and brown. I have
brown and orange here.ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original

AMTo: Spridget list;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] Auto Experts: Not LBC but stupid
fuseable link needed for my truck..ugh.List,I have exhausted all sites stores
and groups for this nasty bugger called a fuseable link which to me is just a
wire. I'll make one after I exhaust all other efforts but prefer not to open up
my wiring harness and solder in.I need this "looks like" image in link, 5 wires
called fuseable links which to me is just a thinner than connected to wire at
6" long:Why can't I just use wire that is 6" long (I read they need to be 6"
long) and just the 4 gauges smaller than what they go into? At the very bottom
is a nice youtube of a guy soldering them in and he made the most sense.What
did MG and Austin Healey do to not require them in our Spridgets?Many thanks as
always school me on what
