ABSTRACT:
A plug-in fuse assembly comprises a housing made of insulating material and having relatively closely spaced vertical side walls bridges by vertical end walls and a metal plug-in fuse element having laterally spaced, generally parallel confronting terminals at the bottom thereof projecting downwardly from the bottom of said housing and upwardly extending current-carrying extensions of said terminals and a unique S-shaped fuse link extending between said current-carrying extensions. The S-shaped fuse link has about a 45.degree. angled upper and lower leg of at least about one-half the length of the central leg thereof and a width to thickness ratio of about 1/2 or less which maximizes its volume without the position contraints placed on the fuse link.
