Abstract
The fuse holder for receiving a cylindrical fuse having conductive ends includes a cap having a fuse carrier disposed in part therein for receiving one end of the fuse and a barrel having a fuse cavity for receiving the cap and fuse. The barrel includes a bottom terminal extending through the barrel for contact with one conductive end of the fuse and a side terminal having tines extending through apertures in the side of the barrel for engagement with the fuse carrier which in turn is in electrical contact with the other end of the fuse. The body of the side terminal is disposed on the exterior of the barrel and, in conjunction with the wall of the barrel, isolates the interior of the barrel from the body of the side terminal such that only that portion of the side terminal required to complete the electrical path from the fuse carrier to the side terminal is exposed interior the barrel.
