ABSTRACT:
A planer fuse panel is presented. In accordance with the present invention, a section of conductive metal of the desired thickness, temper and shape is stamped out from a sheet of conductive metal. Simultaneously, fuse holding spring or bent tabs are formed in the same stamping operation for frictionally engaging blades from blade-type fuses. The edges of the fuse panel include a plurality of male blade connectors of a known configuration. A multiplicity of circuits may be included in the planer fuse panel depending on the number of circuits desired. The circuits may have any suitable planar shape. In a preferred embodiment, each circuit has an overall rectangular shape with a first portion consisting of an "L" shaped element and a second portion comprising a rectangular shaped element located in the shoulder of the first element. Spaces are formed bridging the two portions of each circuit with bent tabs extending into each space to frictionally engage a blade-type terminal from a fuse or the like. The conductive metal is appropriately finished and/or plated and then insulative layers, such as polyester or polyimide film, are applied (e.g., laminated) to both surfaces of the metal in sheet form.
