Abstract
Disclosed is an improved fuse link assembly wherein a tensioned fusible element is secured at each end to a circuit conductor for connection to an external electrical circuit. The improvement includes an integral stamped crimp terminal which secures each end of the fusible element to a circuit conductor. The crimp member includes a serial succession of three discrete crimp portions, a first portion for receiving the fusible element, a second portion for receiving the circuit conductor, and a third portion for receiving a wire-like strain relief element disposed in parallel, cross the fusible element. The first crimp terminal (which receives the fusible element) is located between the second and third crimp portions. Each crimp portion has an internal diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the conductor received therein.
