A fuse holder includes a movable tab, a base, and a cover. A stud is affixed to the movable tab and secures a terminal of a bolt-down fuse. A second stud is affixed to the base and secures a second terminal of the bolt-down fuse. The base has a channel into which the movable tab is slidably inserted. The cover connects to the base and is located over the stud and the second stud.

Unsealed single fuse holder

A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) includes a cover and a base. The cover has multiple fastener receptacles and a pair of indentations located along its outer edge. The base has an opening on a short side of the PDU for receiving a cable connector and a window on a long side of the PDU, the window being secured to a second cover. The long side is perpendicular to the short side.

Modular power distribution unit

A jump stud assembly including a housing, electrically conductive first and second studs extending through a floor of the housing into a compartment defined by the housing, and a fuse module including a mounting block having a through-hole extending therethrough, a fuse plate having an upper portion on a top of the mounting block and having a through-hole aligned with the through-hole of the mounting block, a lower portion on a bottom of the mounting block and having a through-hole aligned with the through-hole of the mounting block, and a fusible element adjacent a sidewall of the mounting block connecting the upper portion of the fuse plate to the lower portion of the fuse plate, wherein the fuse module is mounted on a portion of the first stud outside the compartment with the upper portion of the fuse plate in electrical communication with the first stud.

Jump stud fuse module

A single bolt fuse assembly and method to connect a single bolt fuse to a circuit or device are disclosed. The single bolt fuse assembly enables the single bolt fuse to be used on any electrical device having a hole suitable for receiving a threaded shaft and connectable to a circuit or device that electrically connects to a female battery or power cable. The apparatus includes a separate high-conductive metal terminal that mates with the stud that mechanically attaches the fuse between the electrical devices. The stud is insulated to avoid becoming part of the electrical circuit and to ensure proper operation of the fuse. By mechanically attaching the stud to the metal terminal, the stud is unlikely to get separated from the fuse.
