ABSTRACT:
An electrical component has a plurality of paired contacts with spaced inner contact sections bridged by a fuse element. The paired contacts have outer contact sections enabling mounting to a circuit panel to complete circuit paths thereon. The component can be used as a shunt for programming the circuit panel by programming the component prior to in-service use of the panel, by the method of deliberately opening the respective fuse element between one or more selected pairs of contacts by an electrical programming current thereon, leaving other fuse elements intact for in-service path connection of their respective circuit paths. The component can be surface mountable and can have DIP configuration.
