ABSTRACT:
An improved cable assembly for electrical overload protection, the cable assembly having a first cable, a second cable, a fusible link, and a protective housing. The first and second cables have a protective covering and an end portion extending past the protective covering. The fusible link is located between the first and second cables such that the end portions of the cables are electrically connected to opposing ends of the fusible link. The protective housing encases a portion of the fusible link, with an intermediate section of the protective housing being spaced away from a portion of the fusible link to form a cavity. The protective housing also engages a portion of the first and second cables to form a rigid interconnecting housing around the fusible link and portions of the first and second cables.
