ABSTRACT:
An electrical fuse assembly has a dielectric housing and a fuse terminal which is stamped and formed from metal stock having the appropriate electrical characteristics. The fuse terminal has blade portions which are made from metal stock which has been folded over, to provide the blade portions with the strength characteristics required. Support members are also provided on the fuse terminal. The support members cooperate with cooperation surfaces to insure that the fuse terminal is properly positioned in the housing of the assembly. During the manufacture of fuse assembly a positioning bar extends between respective conductors. The positioning bar provides the structural support required to insure that the conductors are maintained in space relationship. After the conductors are partially inserted into the housing, a portion of the positioning bar is removed to provide a stop means which cooperates with the housing of the fuse assembly.
