Precision Turned Brass C36000 Fuse Holder Cap 10A 250V Nickel Plated Threaded

This fuse holder cap is machined from Brass C36000 (C36000) to ±0.05mm in the critical dimensions, then finished by Nickel plated 5μm. It is produced on CNC turning centres that are dedicated to small and medium volume precision work, so every dimension on the drawing is generated by the machine rather than by hand fitting. Typical users are engineers who have already been let down by a supplier that quoted a tolerance it could not hold, and who need the part to fit the first time without sorting or rework on the assembly line.

• Low Contact Resistance: Under 3 mOhm at the fuse contact reduces self heating at the rated 10A current
• Precise Thread Engagement: M10x1.0 thread is gauge checked so the cap seats fully and the fuse end cap is compressed correctly
• Nickel Plated Contact: Nickel plating resists arcing erosion and keeps the contact surface free of oxide
• Insulation Coordination: Creepage and clearance geometry is held to the drawing to pass 1,500V dielectric withstand
• Batch Electrical Testing: Sample caps from each lot are tested for contact resistance and dielectric withstand

The process route is fixed before metal is cut. Bar stock is verified against the purchase specification and the heat number is logged, then a first article is turned and measured in full. Only after the first article is signed off does the lot run. Critical features on this fuse holder cap are controlled to ±0.05mm with a process capability target of Cpk 1.33 or better, and the operator checks the feature at a defined frequency with the gauge stated on the control plan. Where the drawing calls for Nickel plated 5μm, the finishing step is carried out in house and the result is measured, not assumed. Sample parts go to the CMM for full dimensional verification, and the recorded results ship with the lot as a first article inspection report in PPAP level 3 format when a customer program requires it.

Questions are handled by engineers rather than by sales staff. Our team reviews each drawing for manufacturability, flags features that would drive cost without adding function, and proposes the tolerance band that actually matters for the assembly. That review is free and is returned within 24 hours together with a quotation. When a part fails in the field, we ask for the sample back, section it if needed and report what the failure mechanism was, because a supplier that cannot explain a failure cannot prevent the next one.

Parts are degreased, dried and packed so that the surface finish specified above arrives intact. Standard packing is VCI paper or individual PE bag, a partitioned foam tray for form features, and an export grade corrugated carton on a pallet, with the lot number and heat number marked on the outside. Parts are warranted against material and workmanship defects for 12 months from delivery. If a part is found outside the drawing, we replace it at our cost and we pay the return freight for the defective lot. Third party inspection by SGS, BV or TUV can be arranged before shipment at your request, and we work under NDA where drawings are confidential.

Q: Do you test dielectric withstand or only dimensional? A: Both. A sample from each lot is hipot tested at 1,500V AC for one minute, and the test record ships with the lot.

Q: Can you supply a version rated for 20A? A: The thread and body geometry can be scaled, but contact area must increase to keep self heating acceptable. Send your rating target and we will propose a design.

Q: What plating do you recommend for humid environments? A: Nickel performs well generally. For high humidity we recommend a nickel underplate with a thin gold flash on the contact ring.

Q: Do you provide approval documentation? A: We supply material and plating certificates and test records. Formal agency approval such as UL is the customer's submission, and we support it with test samples.

Q: How do you confirm the Brass C36000 material before it is machined? A: Every bar is checked against its mill certificate with an optical emission spectrometer before it goes to a machine. If the chemistry does not match the grade, the bar is rejected and returned. The certificate for your lot is filed under the heat number and can be sent with the shipment or on request.

Q: What happens if a delivered part measures outside the ±0.05mm tolerance? A: Send the measurement and the lot number. We check the recorded values for that lot, replace the parts at our cost and cover the return freight. Because each critical feature is recorded during production, we can trace the deviation to a tool wear step, a fixture shift or a gauge issue and correct the process before the next lot runs.

Send a 2D drawing, a STEP file or a sample and you will have a manufacturability review and a firm quotation within 24 hours. Trial orders from a single piece are accepted, so the tolerance claim can be checked on your own assembly before a production order is placed.
