Battery terminal fuse module

A fuse module comprising:

• an electrically conductive battery clamp having a ferrule portion adapted for connection to a battery terminal and further having a terminal portion extending from the ferrule portion;
• a fuse assembly comprising:
• a mounting block formed of an electrically insulating material;
• an electrically conductive bus bar disposed on a first side of the mounting block in contact with the terminal portion of the battery clamp;
• a plurality of fuse terminals disposed on a second side of the mounting block opposite the first side and connected to the bus bar by respective fusible elements extending along a third side of the mounting block;
• an electrically conductive terminal post extending through one of the fuse terminals for facilitating connection to a first electrical component;
• and
• an electrically conductive bus extension mechanically joined to the bus bar for facilitating connection to a fuse, wherein the bus extension differs from the bus bar with respect to at least one of material and thickness;
• and
• a mounting cradle holding the terminal portion of the battery clamp and the fuse assembly, the mounting cradle including a mounting post extending through the terminal portion of the battery clamp, the bus bar, the mounting block, and one of the fuse terminals for facilitating connection to a second electrical component and for securing the battery clamp, the fuse assembly, and the mounting cradle together in a stacked arrangement, wherein the mounting post is surrounded by a tubular sleeve that extends between the bus bar and with the fuse terminal through which the mounting post extends.
