Abstract
A fuse includes a housing and terminal blades extending therefrom. Each terminal blade includes a stop face, a stop brace, a hold face, and a hold brace. The stop face and stop brace prevent over insertion of the terminal blade through a circuit board and separate the fuse housing from the circuit board. The stop brace and hold brace position the housing relative to the board and prevent dislodging of the blades from the board during soldering operations.
