Abstract
A large current fuse for direct coupling to a power source which comprises a fuse body A electrically connected to a battery post of a battery by way of a power source side terminal and a resin case A which partially covers the fuse body, is characterized in that the fuse body A consists of a power supply terminal plate in a rectangular shape having the power source side terminal connected to one end thereof and at least one connecting terminal plate integrally formed with at least one of both sides of the power supply terminal plate in a longitudinal direction by way of an L-shaped fusible member, the connecting terminal plate being positioned at the same side as the power supply terminal plate with respect to an extension line extending along the other end of the power supply terminal plate so as to shorten a distance D of the large current fuse protruding from the battery, a portion of an outer peripheral edge of the connecting terminal plate being substantially along the extension line.
