Need one more fuse slot
 

We're using 4 CIMs for the drive train, and 1 FP. All of them need 40 amp fuses, but the maxi only has 4 slots. IFI doesn't sell maxi blocks, so we're not sure about what to do about the extra slot we need. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We used last year's kit Maxi block to increase our entire capacity to 8 fuses. You may want to consider acquiring an additional fuse block.

If you go on ebay you can find the sameones in the kit but they only have two slots instead of four.

Guru,

Active Surplus downtown Toronto has the Maxi Blocks for sale. (4 port and 2 port)...I believe they are in the second isle, near the back.

www.activesurplus.com (for location, phone#, storetimes)

PM me if you need additional information.

Cheers!

I believe that 2 port fuse panels would be illegal per <R46> since they are "different" then the 4 port ones provided in the kit.

We had this same problem. Here is what we learned in order to get a 2nd fuse block:

The "official FIRST supplier" for the gold-plated maxi fuse blocks is "Terminal Supply Co." (See http://www.terminalsupplyco.com/ ) The price for the gold-plated Maxi fuse blocks is $22.89 plus shipping.

The sales contact at Terminal Supply Co. for FIRST teams is Carrie Chambers. Her contact information (both email and 800-number) is on the attached scanned 2007 FRC parts list. She'll know about FIRST teams and the correct needed fuse block when you contact her.

Best Regards,
