SAM Fuse Holder
When using the auxiliary fuses 36 to 44 ideally you need to use a fuse holder.

Thanks to forum member Paul.art for sending me this fuse holder.
Extra Fuses
The SAM unit has nine extra fuse places down the side, smart obviously put them there for their own usage but as most cars rarely use more than two of them, let's take advantage.
What Ampage Are They?
That's the best bit, it is what ever you want it to be. Any standard size automotive fuse will fit into the holders which are then clipped into the SAM unit.
What Control Do I Have?
You have two options for the power to the fuse:
Constant Live
Switched Live
The constant live is always on and the switched live comes
on when the ignition key is turned to position 1.
How Do I Select It?
The four fuse spaces nearest to you are switched lives.
The five fuse spaces furthest from you are constant live.
The Fuse Holders
The fuse holders used to come in two colours:
Orange for constant live applications
Black for switched live applications.
The orange ones will only fit in the constant live locations and vice versa.
The only difference apart from the colour is the location of a small plastic
tab to stop it sliding in the wrong position on the SAM unit.
Over time, however, the colours of the fuse holders have increased.
Here we can see the holder with a fuse removed.
The fuse pushes into the holder where it is held in with a clip.
The clip can then be inserted into the SAM unit after being wired up.
These can be bought directly from smart.
The part numbers are:
Brown - 211 545 0901 (thanks John Porter)
Black fuse holder - 211 545 05 01
Dark red fuse holder - 211 545 09 01 (thanks Jonathan)
Black fuse holder - 211 545 05 01
Turqoise fuse holder - 211 545 13 01 (thanks James)
Clip in terminal - 011 545 84 26
Clip in terminal - 004 545 52 26 (thanks Jonathan)
The terminals are the clip in metal connections that fit inside the fuse holders.
Both of the terminal part numbers should get the same product, they could just be regional codes.
They originally retailed for about £11 each but they have come down to £1.
Remember that you need to purchase the terminal as well which is about 70p.
Cheaper Alternative
You can now get them for £1.70 each from Denis over at Smart-Parts-Direct.
