ABSTRACT:
An hermetically sealed terminal construction having one or more terminal pin assemblies wherein inner and outer pin parts are interconnected by a fuse link surrounded by a protective capsule defining an expansion cavity, the capsule having a vent port closed by a blow-out plug, the terminal pin assemblies extending through and being hermetically sealed to sleeve forming parts of the supporting base, including a dielectric sealing member which covers the protective capsules, the blow-out plugs and contiguous portions of the adjoining pin parts, the blow-out plugs being adapted to be expelled from the protective capsules upon the build-up of pressure within the capsules caused by disintegration of the fuse links, thereby cutting off the flow of current through the terminal while maintaining the integrity of the hermetical seals by means of which the terminal pin assemblies are mounted to the terminal base.
