ABSTRACT:
A device for retaining an electrical component such as a fuse relative to a circuit includes a retainer body portion that receives and supports the electrical component. A cover maintains the component in position on the retainer body portion. A housing that surrounds the circuit includes a guide member that guides the retainer and maintains it in proper alignment with the housing. The retainer is moveable between a first position where the component engages a connection terminal in the circuit and a second position where the component is disconnected from the circuit. The retainer includes structure that maintains the component in the disconnected position until the retainer is specifically manipulated to allow the component to be reinserted into the connection terminal.
