Description:
Fusible links are designed to protect your car's wiring and electrical components in the event of an electrical surge (such as voltage spikes or current overloads). In extreme cases, proper links can be the difference between a minor inconvenience/repair and the salvage yard! This quality reproduction fusible link connects the starter and wiring harness. It includes the proper ring terminal on the starter side and connector on the harness end. Be sure to inspect the connector on your harness for damage as well*. Sold individually. While each car only requires 1 of this link, it's generally a good idea to keep a spare fusible link on hand in case of emergency, as you never use regular wire in place of a fusible link (see Fusible Link Safety note below).
Application Note:
Some early 1970 models originally used a connector housing on the harness end of the fusible link itself (along with the harness). Additionally, some were optionally equipped with a fusible link that attached to the alternator instead. The alternator fusible link uses a ring terminal is much smaller diameter, and also came with a rubber boot that fit over the alternator terminal. Note that Nissan supercedes all versions of the starter fusible link to the 72-73 version which came with a connector housing, and many Z-Cars had the harness side housing added to them (see Harness Connector Note below). Note that the alternator version does not supercede; see 12-4346-1 in Related Items.
*Harness Connector Note:
The connector housing for the fusible link was first used on 240Zs starting in 1971 model year. That housing was often times added to 1970 models as part of a service call and supercession. While not original, we do offer a replacement housing for later models which can be used in place of the original if needed. It can also be used to complete the service call on early 240Zs if preferred; simply purchase both the connector (12-4354) and late style fusible link (12-4333-1) in Related Items.
Fusible Link Safety:
Fusible Links are much more than a length of wire. They are specifically designed using a special type of wire construction, with special safety insulation made of heat-resistant cross linked CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene). Using regular wire in place of a fusible link, even in an emergency situation, is extremely dangerous. This is true even if you choose standard wire that is smaller than the circuit, because of the level of fire-resistant insulation. If you use a standard wire that is the same size or larger than the circuit, you are at a high risk of catastrophic failure of what is in that circuit, or even a car fire. We recommend always having spare Fuses and Fusible Links stored in your Z, especially if you travel.
Quantity Required Per Vehicle= 1
Supercession Note:
Nissan superceded the original version of this fusible link to the later style, which has a connector housing on the link itself. If your 1970 model has already been converted to this type, you can use 12-4333-1 (in Related Items) as a direct replacement instead.
Image Note:
Image on this page shows an artist's rendition of this fusible link. All fittings shown are the same as those used on the actual link, but overall scale may not be exact to the product you receive. Image will be updated shortly.
