Abstract
A fuse (12) comprising a tube of insulating material having an inner (16) and an outer wall surface (18) and forming a fuse housing (14). The fuse includes a pair of conductive fuse terminals (24, 26) secured at opposite axial ends (20, 22) of the tube. A fuse element (23) is axially disposed within and extends between the ends of the fuse housing, and its ends are electrically and physically directly connected with the adjacent fuse terminal. A plug of initially solid, arc-quenching material (32) at preferably only at one end of the fuse housing occupies only a limited axial extent thereat and evaporates under fuse blowing conditions to fill the housing with an arc-quenching vapor.
