ABSTRACT:
A holder is provided for a cylindrical electrical safety fuse having conductive end caps. A hollow housing receives the fuse therein through a front side which is closeable with a closure cap. A compression spring at a back end of the housing biases the fuse against a conductive metal inner cap disposed interiorly of the end cap. The inner cap has a radially extending contact tab. A terminal pin is provided to conductively engage the contact tab. The terminal pin has a contact portion with a perpendicularly-extending base, a cantilevered front leg extending from and overlying the base, and a cantilevered spring leg extending from a second end of the base so that the spring leg is disposed intermediately between the front leg and the base and also overlies the base. A clamp slot is defined between the front leg and the spring leg to form an electrical contact with the contact tab.
