ABSTRACT:
A fuse holder clip for snap-in insertion into a parallel array fuse holder block features a terminal lug configured in the form of a right-angle strap of length such as to allow mechanical and electrical engagement to a similarly configured adjacent clip disposed along one side of the array. Complementary engaging means, preferably in the form of a hollow rivet at the right-angle bend of the strap, and a matching hole at the outboard end of the strap permits riveting engagement of an arbitrary number of such clips, whereby such clips become electrically interconnected by a common bus. The snap-in feature of the clips permits removal and reconfiguration of terminal groupings along a given edge of the fuse block at will. Use of the hollow rivet facilitates high current lead attachment to the bus by an eyelet lead lug and a self-tapping screw. A support shelf unitary with the mounting block and disposed to give close support to the junction region of the two straps prevents significant deformation of the bus during such lead attachment. The shelf also provides additional protection against accidental deformation of the bus structure to touch the mounting surface on which the fuse block is mounted.
