ABSTRACT:
A fuse holder for a cylindrical fuse with a tubular body and conductive metal end caps is disclosed where the holder includes a molded base and metal terminals. The base is adapted to carry a pair of terminals in spaced apart alignment to receive at least one fuse, but a plurality of fuses can be carried in parallel rows on a common base between aligned pairs of terminals. Notched lines are positioned between the rows to define lines of weakness for severance of the molded base providing at least one fuse holder and terminal pair. The configuration of one fuse holder is elongated and rectangular with the molded base having a generally flat center and raised ends. The terminals are identical in shape and snap fit to the ends of the base between a pair of upstanding legs which form a channel for alignment with the axis of the fuse. Each terminal has a squat U shape in end profile and includes four spring fingers to hold the fuse end cap against the terminal base which is the flat bottom part of the U. A lug extends from the terminal outwardly of the base to accept connection to a circuit. The terminals rest in the channels upon raised bottom areas, whereby the body of the fuse is carried fully seated in the terminals, yet above the flat center of the base.
