Push-in fuse holder

A fuse holder comprising:

• a housing including sidewalls and compartment walls defining a fuse compartment and termination compartments, each termination compartment having a cable termination aperture for receiving an electrical cable and a lock pin slot, the fuse compartment configured to receive a fuse;
• a bus assembly disposed including current bars having a first end and a second end extending from the fuse compartment to the termination compartment, the first end having fuse contacts extending from the first end, the second end including a barb extending from the second end;
• push-in clamps disposed within the termination compartment, the push-in clamps normally biased against the barbs, each of the push-in clamps configured to elastically deform, upon insertion of the electrical cable into the cable termination aperture, to form a gap between the barb and the push-in clamp, each of the push-in clamps being further configured to continuously apply a biasing force, during and after insertion of the electrical cable, against the electrical cable clamping the cable into the termination aperture, wherein withdrawing of the electrical cable from the cable termination apertures causes the barbs to catch the electrical cable due to the biasing force applied by the push-in clamps against the electrical cable;
• lock pins positioned within the lock pin slots, the lock pins normally abutting the push-in clamps, wherein the lock pin slots are positioned adjacent to the cable termination apertures, wherein depression of the lock pins depresses the push-in clamps such that the push-in clamps no longer biases the electrical cable;
• and
• a fuse lever for holding the fuse, wherein the fuse lever includes a slot for receiving the fuse and the fuse lever includes a snap-fit cap for securing the fuse within the slot, wherein the snap-fit cap removably secures to the fuse lever, the fuse lever is pivotable about a pin disposed within the fuse compartment of the housing and is pivotable between an open position and closed position, wherein the fuse contacts the fuse contacts of the bus assembly.
