GF‑700A‑1 MAXI Blade Fuse Clip | 0.41mm Thick Copper, Tin‑Plated Stamped Contact
The GF‑700A‑1 is a stamped MAXI blade fuse clip manufactured by EssFuse. Specifically, it is formed from 0.41mm thick copper strip and tin‑plated for corrosion resistance. This is the bare metal spring contact that inserts into a MAXI fuse holder housing. Furthermore, it accepts standard MAXI (large) automotive blade fuses. Therefore, it is a precision stamping component for fuse box makers, junction block assemblers, and aftermarket MAXI holder manufacturers who build their own insulator bodies.
Product Overview
Core Design Purpose
The GF‑700A‑1 is a bare stamped copper contact — not a complete fuse holder. Besides, customers press or insert it into their own plastic MAXI fuse box, panel, or junction block. It provides the spring‑loaded contact that grips the MAXI fuse blade and conducts current to the PCB or busbar.
Electrical Performance
Notably, the 0.41mm copper stock offers excellent conductivity — superior to brass for heavy‑current MAXI applications. As a result, the tin‑plated copper clip maintains low contact resistance even at high ampere ratings. The stamped spring geometry ensures consistent insertion and retention force.
Material & Construction
The clip is stamped from 0.41mm thick copper and finished with tin plating. Moreover, all critical dimensions are held to ±0.13mm (±.005 inch) with angular tolerance ±1°, ensuring automated press‑fit insertion into customer housings.

Solutions We Provide
Application Solutions
1. MAXI Fuse Box Manufacturing
For Tier‑1 fuse box and junction block makers, the GF‑700A‑1 supplies the stamped copper contact that goes into your molded MAXI housing. Specifically, the 0.41mm copper stock is held to ±0.13mm tolerances for automated press‑fit insertion. Furthermore, copper offers better conductivity than brass for the heaviest MAXI currents.
2. Aftermarket MAXI Holder Assembly
For aftermarket MAXI fuse block assemblers and wiring harness makers, the GF‑700A‑1 offers a drop‑in copper contact for custom panels. As a result, builders design their own insulator layout around this standardized clip. Therefore, it suits both low‑volume custom harnesses and high‑volume production.
3. Custom Stamping & OEM Support
EssFuse provides custom stamping for modified contact geometry, lead length, and plating. In addition, we supply matching MAXI blade fuses and the complete GF‑700A holder assembly. Contact sales for drawings, samples, and tooling options.
Typical Applications
Use Cases
- MAXI fuse box and junction block stamped copper contacts
- Aftermarket MAXI fuse block assembly
- Heavy‑current wiring harness fuse clip insert
- Marine / RV / off‑grid DC power panel
- Truck and bus battery distribution box component
- Industrial DC cabinet heavy‑current fuse socket
Customer Questions & Answers
Real Customer Questions
1: What is the difference between GF‑700A and GF‑700A‑1?
A: GF‑700A is the complete MAXI fuse holder (PA9T black base + brass clip). GF‑700A‑1 is the bare stamped copper clip only — no plastic base, no insulator. Use GF‑700A‑1 when you already have your own housing and need replacement or OEM contacts.
2: Why copper instead of brass?
A: Copper has higher conductivity than brass, reducing power loss and heat generation at high MAXI currents. The 0.41mm copper stock maintains adequate spring force while maximizing current‑carrying capacity. Tin plating provides corrosion protection.
3: Is this a complete holder I can buy standalone?
A: No. It is a bare metal stamping component. You need a plastic housing to insert it into. If you need a ready‑to‑use holder, order the GF‑700A complete version with PA9T base.
4: Which fuses does it accept?
A: Standard MAXI (large) automotive blade fuses. This is the largest blade fuse form factor, used for heavy‑current main battery feeds (typically 30A–100A+).
5: What tolerance do you hold?
A: ±0.13mm (±.005 inch) on decimal dimensions, ±1° angular. This tight tolerance supports automated press‑fit insertion into customer housings without jamming or loose fit.
6: Do you supply matching MAXI fuses?
A: Yes. We manufacture MAXI blade fuses that mate with this clip. Ordering both from EssFuse guarantees insertion force and contact compatibility.
7: Can you customize the stamped geometry?
A: Yes. We provide custom stamping tooling for modified contact shape, lead length, and plating. MOQ for custom tooling is negotiable. Send your drawing for review.
