A fuse block which provides for holding a plurality of fuses in parallel in order to reduce fuse block size and to maximize the surface area of electrical contact in order to reduce electrical resistance in the electrical contact. The block holds the fuse electrical contacts clamped in trapezoidal cavities in terminals. A fuse block, comprising a first multi-fuse coupler to electrically and mechanically couple with one first electrical contact of each of a plurality of fuses, in a first single tightening operation; a second multi-fuse coupler to electrically and mechanically couple with one second electrical contact of each of such plurality of fuses, in a second single tightening operation; and a base sized, shaped, and arranged to maintain said a first multi-fuse coupler and said a second multi-fuse coupler in opposing, aligned, and spaced-apart relationship.
