Every blade size in one box, so the job does not stop halfway
You are partway through a dash cam install, the fuse box is open, and the tap you bought does not fit the slot. It is the single most common reason a Saturday morning job turns into a Sunday one. This fuse tap kit includes ATO/Standard, Mini, Micro2 and Low-Profile Mini add-a-circuit taps, two of each, so you can match your car's fuse box on the spot and get on with it.
You will see this part sold under half a dozen names. Fuse tap, add-a-circuit, add-a-fuse, piggy back fuse, blade fuse tap, fuse tap adapter. They all describe the same thing: a dual-slot holder that piggy-backs a new fused circuit onto an existing fuse without cutting a single factory wire. The original fuse goes in one slot, your dash cam's fuse goes in the other, and both circuits stay independently protected. It is the correct way to power an accessory, and it is fully reversible.
Why two of each size: plenty of Australian-delivered cars use more than one blade size in the same fuse box, and some installs need both a switched and a constant feed. One of each would leave you short. Two means you finish the job.
Trusted AU store: Ships from Melbourne within 24 hours*. 12-month warranty, local technical support and 30-Day No-Worries returns.
Who This Isn't For: Vehicles that use non-blade fuses (glass or Maxi), or Micro3 blades, which are not included here. Some late-model vehicles use Micro3, so check your fuse panel before ordering. If you are not sure what you are looking at, send us a photo of the fuse box and we will tell you.
Which fuse tap size do I need?
Pull one fuse out of your car and compare it to the table below. The product photos include a sizing diagram with the measurements for all four blade types if you want to be certain before you order.
| Blade type | Also called | How to recognise it |
|---|---|---|
| ATO fuse tap | ATC, Standard, regular blade | The big classic blade. Common in older Australian and Japanese cars, utes and 4WDs. |
| Mini fuse tap | ATS | Noticeably smaller than the ATO. Very common across cars sold here over the last two decades. |
| Micro2 fuse tap | Micro 2 | The narrow, tall one. Widely used in recent models. |
| Low-Profile Mini fuse tap | LP Mini, Mini Low Profile, APS | A squat version of the Mini. Common in newer interior fuse boxes where space is tight. |
| Micro3 | Micro 3 | Not included in this kit. Some late-model cars use it and need a separate adapter. |

Highlights
What We Love
- Covers the four blade sizes that account for the overwhelming majority of Australian cars, utes and 4WDs
- Two of every size, so a mixed fuse box or a dual-feed install does not stop you
- Dual-slot design keeps the factory circuit protected while adding a separate fused feed
- No cutting and no splicing, so the car returns to standard in minutes
- One box instead of four separate part numbers, and no second trip for the size you did not buy
What Could Be Better
- No Micro3 tap, and some late-model vehicles use them
- Does not include the hardwire kit or the fuses for the accessory side
Why clean, fused power matters
An add-a-circuit tap keeps the factory fuse protecting the original system while giving your dash cam its own fused feed. That means fewer awkward conversations at warranty time, far easier troubleshooting if something stops working, and a stable power source for parking mode. The alternative, splicing into a live wire, is how you end up with an intermittent fault nobody can find two years later.
Top install benefits
- Match on the spot: Four blade sizes in the box means no second trip and no guessing before you order.
- Safe power split: Separate fuse positions maintain OEM protection and safeguard your accessory independently.
- Reversible install: Pull the tap, refit the original fuse, and the car is back to stock.
- Parking mode ready: Pair with a hardwire kit to give your camera the constant feed it needs.
- Enough for two jobs: Doubles up so you can do the family's second car, or keep spares in the boot.
How to fit one
The short version, in order:
- Test the fuse slots to find a non-critical circuit, and check whether it is constant or switched.
- Crimp the tap's lead to your camera's power wire, then tug it to be sure.
- Put the factory fuse in one holder and your accessory fuse in the other.
- Seat the tap the right way round, so the supply side feeds both fuses. If the camera stays dead, rotate it 180 degrees.
- Test before you put the trim back.
The full walkthrough, including the orientation question and what can go wrong, is in our guide to how to fit a dash cam fuse tap. For choosing which slot to use, see which fuse to tap for a dash cam.

Frequently asked questions
What is a fuse tap for?
It powers a new accessory from your car's fuse box without cutting into the factory wiring. The tap holds two fuses, one for the circuit you borrowed from and one for the accessory, so both stay protected. Dash cams, radar detectors, battery packs and other small 12V accessories all use them.
Is it safe to use a fuse tap?
Yes, when it is fitted correctly. The things that make it unsafe are all installation choices: an oversized fuse on the accessory side, a loose crimp, tapping a safety circuit, or a tap that is not fully seated. Use a tester, size the fuse for the accessory, and stay away from airbags, ABS and engine management.
Does this include the hardwire kit?
No. This pack is the fuse taps only. Pair it with a hardwire kit that matches your camera's power connector to enable parking mode.
Which tap do I use?
Pull a fuse out of your fuse box and compare it to the table above, or to the sizing diagram in the product photos. ATO is the big classic blade, Mini is smaller, Micro2 is the narrow tall one, and Low-Profile Mini is a squat version of the Mini.
What fuse rating should I use on the dash cam side?
3A to 5A is plenty for a dash cam and it is what protects your new wiring. Do not fit a large fuse just because you have one handy.
Will it void my warranty?
Fuse taps are non-invasive and reversible when used with correct fuse ratings. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer's guidance.
Can I power two devices from one tap?
Not recommended. Use one accessory per added circuit for safety and easier diagnostics.
Which fuse should I tap?
Something harmless like the accessory socket, radio or a spare slot. Never an airbag, ABS or ECU fuse.
