ABSTRACT:
A low voltage fuse adapter for allowing a blade-type automotive fuse to be used in a socket for glass ferrule fuse of the type widely used in automotive vehicles. One version of the fuse adapter has a supportive insulating body with at least two end faces and at least two slots between the end faces, two contact members made of electrical conductive materials formed in a preselected shape and disposed within each slot, and two caps with each cap being fixed at the end of the supporting body and each cap being in electrical contact with one contact members. A second shorter version of the fuse adapter has a similar structure, except that the insulating body is shorter, and the caps have slotted openings to permit the blades of the blade-type automotive fuse to pass through to the slotted openings to the contact members located thereunder. Both versions of the automotive blade-to-ferrule fuse adapter may be provided as part of fuse socket conversion kit. The fuse kit includes a blade-type fuse in combination with one of the aforementioned fuse adapters.
