Can I use a MIDI fuse meant for 48V products for a 12V circuit?

I'm looking to protect a 12v circuit with a midi fuse meant for 48v. Is there any harm in doing so?


I bought two of these midi fuse holders and two of these midi fuses.


I'm planning on using them in the parts circled in red in my 12v circuit.


I noticed the midi fuses are described as:


MIDI-fuse 30A/58V for 48V products (1 pc)


Would it be a problem to use it in my circuit?

Yes, it will be fine to use a fuse at any Voltage below the maximum rated capacity.
That fuse is rated for 58V, so on a 12V system you are well within the specifications.
