Abstract
A fuse tap for a blade fuse is disclosed which includes a tap flange to which a blade of the blade fuse is received. The blade is retained within the opening by a plurality of teeth which exert a clamping force on opposite sides of the blade. A locking element is formed on the tap to lock the tap onto the blade fuse. A crimp connector is formed on one end of the tap which is adapted to be secured to a wire by crimping. The fuse tap is formed as a unitary one-piece body formed by bending a single blank of metal to provide the crimp connector on one end and the tap flange formed at the other end which includes an opening for receiving the blade of the blade fuse.
