Fuse with compartmentalized body and parallel fuse elements

A fuse comprising:

• an electrically insulating fuse body comprising:
• a base having a planar central portion and first and second sidewalls disposed on opposing sides of the central portion, the first and second sidewalls having notches formed therein, the central portion having first and second fastening holes formed therethrough adjacent opposing longitudinal ends thereof;
• a mid-body disposed atop the central portion of the base between the first and second sidewalls of the base and having first and second troughs formed in a top surface thereof, wherein the troughs are separated by a partition wall and are aligned with the notches in the first and second sidewalls of the base, the mid-body further having first and second through holes formed therethrough adjacent opposing longitudinal ends thereof;
• and
• a cover disposed atop the mid-body and having a planar central portion and first and second sidewalls disposed on opposing sides of the central portion, the central portion further having first and second fastening bosses extending therefrom adjacent opposing longitudinal ends thereof, wherein the first and second fastening bosses extend through the first and second through holes of the mid-body and the first and second fastening holes of the base;
• and
• a conductive portion comprising:
• opposing first and second terminal portions connected by parallel, spaced apart first and second fuse members, wherein the first and second fuse members are disposed within the first and second troughs of the mid-body and are separated by the partition wall, and wherein the first and second terminal portions cover the sides of the fuse body.
