ABSTRACT:
An arrangement is provided for selectively associating and connecting an electrical device such as a fuse with a mounting therefor. The arrangement includes an efficient connection device that is clamped at each end of the electrical device to end studs protruding from the ends of the electrical device. In a specific embodiment, the efficient connection device includes a contact bar fabricated from wrought copper that is directly clamped to the end studs and that directly connects to the contacts of the mounting. The connection device also includes provisions to prevent the assembly of distinct electrical devices with different predetermined ratings or characteristics into connection devices other than the connection device corresponding to the appropriate electrical device. The arrangement also includes structure for associating the connection device and carried electrical device with a mounting and for preventing the cooperation and connection of the carried electrical device with mountings other than those that correspond to the appropriate electrical device as to the predetermined ratings or characteristics. In one specific embodiment, the arrangement includes predetermined cooperative interfitting tabs and notches on the carried electrical device and the mounting to ensure that only the appropriate electrical device is capable of being connected to a particular, corresponding mounting. The clamping structure for the connection device includes predetermined geometric characteristics to prevent the inappropriate electrical devices from being assembled to the arrangement.
