ABSTRACT:
A female fuse includes two female terminal portions and a fuse link with a skived region. The fuse link can have first and second ends with first and second pellet regions, each pellet region having a pellet hole therein, the first and second pellet regions being substantially symmetrically spaced on opposing sides of a central axis of the female fuse. Such a fuse link also includes first and second art-forming strips substantially symmetrically connecting the first and second pellet regions to one another, an interior portion of the arc-forming strips being substantially formed from a die section which is independent of the die section which forms the exterior shape of the female fuse. The female fuse terminals each have female-forming terminal plates and female-forming side plates, the terminal plates each having a spring portions, the spring portions being formable into contacting springs for the male terminals. A female fuse housing is also provided for the female fuse. The female fuse housing has a sidewall having an inner surface and an exterior surface, the inner surface defining a fuse insertion area for housing the female fuse. The housing also has an insertion end adapted for receiving the female fuse, and a terminal entry end located opposite the fuse insertion end, and having a first terminal socket and a second terminal socket. The housing also has a divider positioned within the fuse insertion area between the first terminal socket and the second terminal socket, having a first side and a second side, to define a first female receptor chamber and a second female receptor chamber each having a plurality of female fuse retainers.
