About Us

E. Preston (Electrical) Ltd has been a specialist distributor of electrical and electronic components since 1980, offering thousands of products to meet a wide variety of needs and applications.

But we do more than simply sell components — we have built a reputation as a company who do business the traditional and honest way. Paying attention to the simple things — like phoning people back when we say we will — has kept our customers coming back for over four decades.

Our staff are experts in their fields, we maintain appropriate stock levels, and all of our processes are fully computerised to ensure a smooth operation.
We also understand that business is carried out between people, not companies. We do the hard work to maintain relationships with our suppliers as well as our customers. That way everybody in every part of the supply chain is satisfied – from the manufacturer to the end consumer.

The company, which is still wholly owned by the Directors, is located on a modern industrial estate which lies six miles to the east of Manchester in the North West of England.

FPR – High-Performance 5x20 Fuse Holder for Vertical PCB Mounting

  • 3.2 Watt rated power acceptance
  • For vertical PCB mounting
  • Suitable for 5x20 fuses
  • IP40 Protection class

Modern electronic designs require ever higher power density with reduced space requirements – without compromising on safety and reliability. The FPR fuse holder was developed precisely to meet these requirements. It offers an impressive 30% higher power consumption with the same footprint as the well-established FPG4 series. This means more thermal load capacity without taking up additional space on the PCB.

With a power consumption of 3.2 watts at 10 amps at 23 °C ambient temperature, the FPR significantly outperforms the previous generation. The housing dimensions remain compact at 12.5 mm, which enables simple 1:1 integration into existing designs. At the same time, the component meets all relevant standards with regard to vibration resistance in accordance with IEC 60068-2-6 and operates reliably in a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. The IP40 degree of protection rounds off the technical profile.

Compatible with FPG4 Series
The FPR provides developers with a powerful, space-saving and easy-to-install solution that impresses with its high thermal load capacity – all without changing the existing layout. The new fuse holder is 100% compatible with the existing FPG4.

Application Areas
The FPR is particularly suitable for applications with high current loads and limited space – for example in industrial automation, mechanical engineering or building automation.
