Abstract
A fuse (20) includes a fuse element (25), having a fusible portion (22) provided between inner side edges (21a) of a pair of parallel flat-plate terminal portions (21, 21), and an insulating housing (23) covering the inner side edges (21a) of the flat-plate terminal portions (21) and the fusible portion (22). A middle portion (21f) of each of the flat-plate terminal portions (21), located at the lateral position relative to the fusible portion (22), is fixedly gripped by a mating terminal (11) of a fuse mounting portion, so that the flat-plate terminal portion is electrically connected to the mating terminal.
Claims14
A fuse box, comprising:
- at least one fuse mounting portion, said mounting portion comprising:
- a plurality of guide walls,
- at least two fuse mating terminals positioned at an inner position with respect to said guide walls, and
- an insulating wall positioned between said at least two fuse mating terminals, wherein said insulating wall is lower in height than said mating terminals, and wherein said at least two fuse mating terminals have a height such that they contact positioning abutment portions disposed on a bottom surface of a fuse housing when said fuse is inserted into said fuse mounting portion.
A fuse box, comprising:
- at least one fuse mounting portion, said mounting portion comprising:
- a plurality of guide walls,
- at least two fuse mating terminals positioned at an inner position with respect to said guide walls, and
- an insulating wall positioned between said at least two fuse mating terminals, wherein said insulating wall is lower in height than said mating terminals, and wherein said insulating wall has a height such that said insulating wall contacts a fuse when said fuse is inserted into said fuse mounting portion.
A fuse box, comprising:
- at least one fuse mounting portion, said mounting portion comprising:
- a plurality of guide walls,
- at least two fuse mating terminals positioned at an inner position with respect to said guide walls, and
- an insulating wall positioned between said at least two fuse mating terminals, wherein said insulating wall is lower in height than said mating terminals, and wherein at least one of said guide walls guides a side wall of a fuse by contacting said side wall when said fuse is inserted into said fuse mounting portion.
