Abstract
An electric fuse having a fuse tube or casing into the ends of which plug terminals are plugged. The plug terminals are conductively interconnected by a plurality of fusible elements, the number of which may change depending upon the desired current-carrying capacity of the fuse. Each plug terminal is provided with a recess in the center thereof. Each recess receives an insert member having a wide flange at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the insert member. A small gap is left between the axially outer end surfaces of the pair of flanges and the axially inner end surfaces of the plug terminals. The fusible elements are held in position by radial slots in the aforementioned flanges into which they are inserted, and their ends are bent 90 degrees and inserted into the aforementioned gap. A solder joint is placed in each slot containing a fusible element conductively connecting the bent ends of the fusible elements, the aforementioned flanges and the plug terminals. One or more additional solder joints may be used for connecting the flanges to the plug terminals.
