ABSTRACT:
A fuse holder includes a fuse carrier insertable into a passageway in a fuse holder body mountable in a vertical panel opening. The fuse carrier supports an active fuse in a U-shaped recess loosely holding the fuse in a horizontal position extending parallel to the panel. The fuse holder body includes a shoulder adjacent the front end thereof for preventing the complete withdrawal of the fuse carrier from said fuse holder body when the fuse carrier is pulled to the front of the body. The fuse carrier has pivot pins for pivotally engaging this shoulder so that the carrier drops into a position where it hangs downwardly from said fuse holder body where a fuse releasably held on the carrier is exposed for removal. The fuse holder body and fuse carrier have releasable interlocking parts which become interlocked when the fuse carrier has been pushed into a fully retracted position within the fuse holder body where the fuse terminals engage with terminal clips. The fuse carrier has a gripping handle which when depressed releases the interlocking parts to permit partial withdrawal of the fuse carrier from the fuse holder body. A spare fuse-receiving cavity is located behind the handle to support the spare fuse oriented parallel to the active fuse.
