ABSTRACT:
A plug-in fuse element comprises a one-piece plate-like body of fuse metal which forms parallel terminal blade portions having current-carrying extensions connected by a fuse link portion. For high current rated fuses, the fuse link portion extends between the current-carrying extensions at points much closer to the terminal blade portions than to the outer ends of the current-carrying extensions. An insulating body, preferably forming a housing, is rigidly anchored between the current-carrying extensions. The insulating body is preferably staked to the current-carrying extensions of the plug-in fuse element, there being anchoring apertures provided in the current-carrying extensions for the staking projections produced thereby. The anchoring apertures are located in the current-carrying extensions beyond the point where the fuse link portion joins the current-carrying extensions. For the lowest current rated fuses, the fuse link is provided with a repeatedly undulating configuration and joins the current-carrying extensions as far away as practical from the terminal blade ends of the current-carrying extensions.
