ABSTRACT:
A fuse/bus bar assembly for use in automotive applications has a one-piece bus bar member of highly conductive material, a fixed terminal mounted on the bus bar, and a discrete terminal spaced from the fixed terminal, and a fuse plug connecting the discrete terminal with the fixed terminal mounted on the bus bar, the fuse plug having two legs, one of the legs inserted in the fixed terminal and the other of the legs inserted into the discrete terminal to fusibly connect the discrete terminal electrically to the bus bar. The fuse/bus bar assembly is made of two materials having differing thicknesses. The bus member is made from an elongated metal plate and the fixed terminal is made from a highly conductive metal strip. The fixed terminals are fastened to the bus bar by conventional means such as staking.
