ABSTRACT:
The improved fuse assembly includes a trigger assembly having an electrically nonconductive barrel for receiving a spring loaded trigger therein and a heater strip disposed along the outer circumferential surface of the barrel with a pair of end flaps. One end flap has a hole therethrough which fits over the end of the trigger adjacent the short circuit element. A second flap fits over the end of the barrel adjacent the end ferrule. The short circuit element, which is electrically and mechanically linked to a ferrule on the opposite end of the tube from the trigger assembly, engages the trigger and heater element in a solder fusing alloy.
