A fuse holder and method of building the same, the fuse holder comprising: a fuse having a pair of fuse terminals; a housing configured to accept any fuse carrier selected from a plurality of fuse carriers, the housing defining an enclosed region adapted to accept the fuse; a pair of contacts within the housing at opposite ends of the enclosed region and configured to engage the fuse terminals; and a fuse carrier selected from the plurality of fuse carriers, the fuse carrier configured to support the fuse and position the fuse terminals in the enclosed region in electrical engagement with the pair of contacts.

Fuse holder assembly

A fuse holder comprising: a housing defining an enclosed region, the housing comprises a base and a cover, the base and cover adapted to accept differently configured cage holders within the enclosed region; a pair of contacts within the housing at opposite ends of the enclosed region and spaced to engage terminals on ends of a fuse; and a first cage holder and second cage holder configured to fit within in the housing, each cage holder of the first and second cage holders includes either a single pole cage or a plurality of pole cages.

A field configurable contactor is disclosed. The contactor preferably includes a plurality of spaces adapted to receive any number, up to its limit, of contact modules. Each contact module preferably includes a pair of contacts and a spring biased cam follower which opens and closes the contact pair when a cam profile of the contactor moves according to energization or de-energization of the contactor. The contact module can be either &ldquo;normally open&rdquo; or &ldquo;normally closed&rdquo; depending on its initial placement onto the contactor relative to the cam profile. A latch assembly in the contactor may hold the contactor mechanically during de-energization.
