ABSTRACT:
An electrical fuse for mounting on a circuit board. The fuse has a housing member with terminal members engaging a fuse element intended to interrupt an external electrical circuit coupled with the terminal members upon an occurence of a fault condition in the electrical circuit. The housing member has internal arc-suppressant structure supporting and deflecting the fuse element to shield the terminal members from arcs occurring upon a failure of the fuse element in response to the fault condition.
