ABSTRACT:
A plug-in fuse assembly comprises a one-piece fuse element secured to a housing and having tubular terminal prong portions adapted for insertion into receptacle terminals. The terminal prong portions have retaining means cooperating with locking means formed in the housing for fixedly securing the terminal prong portions to the housing. A fuse link portion of the fuse element extends transversely between the terminal prong portions and is enclosed by the housing. The fuse element is made by punching from a flat sheet of fuse metal a flat blank comprising two laterally spaced and longitudinally extending prong members interconnected at their inner lateral edges by a link member having a non-rectilinear configuration, and then elongating the link member by flexing it from its non-rectilinear configuration to define the fuse link portion while shaping the prong members into tubular form to define the terminal prong portions.
