Abstract
A device for holding an electric fuse assembly having a fuse carried by a first end fuse holder and a second end fuse holder. The assembly includes a first housing section having a cavity formed therein for receiving the first end fuse holder and a second housing section having a cavity formed therein for receiving the second end fuse holder. An end of the second housing section is adapted to be separably coupled with an end of the first housing section by placing an interior surface at the end of the first housing section into overlapping engagement with an exterior surface of the second end fuse holder and an interior surface of the second end fuse holder into overlapping engagement with an exterior surface at the end of the first housing section. Such a coupling functions to provide a moisture resistant seal. Respective surfaces of the first end fuse holder and the second end fuse holder may also be placed into overlapping engagement with each other when the first housing section and the second housing section are placed into engagement. At least one of the first and second housing sections may also be adapted to latch to the first and second fuse holders, respectively.
