Female fuse terminal and printed circuit board assembly therefor

摘要

A female fuse terminal is provided with a longitudinally extending blade portion sized to be received within a socket. An intermediate portion extends from the blade portion and extends at an acute angle from a longitudinal direction of the blade portion. A female portion is sized to receive a fuse blade, and extends from the intermediate portion such that the female portion is offset parallel to the blade portion. A printed circuit board assembly is provided with a (PCB) having a socket sized to receive the terminal.

1. A printed circuit board assembly comprising:
a printed circuit board (PCB) having at least one socket sized to receive a terminal; and at least one female fuse terminal received in the socket, the at least one female fuse terminal comprising:
only one male blade portion, the only one male blade portion extending longitudinally and being sized to be received within a socket,an intermediate portion extending from the only one male blade portion at an obtuse angle from the only one male blade portion, anda female portion sized to receive a fuse blade, extending from the intermediate portion such that the female portion is offset parallel to the only one male blade portion; wherein the at least one socket is further defined as a first socket; wherein the PCB has a second socket sized to receive a connector assembly, the second socket being larger than the first socket and spaced apart from the first socket at least a first distance; wherein the female portion is spaced apart from the second socket a second distance that is less than the first distance; and wherein the PCB does not include any apertures formed therein within the first distance from the first socket.
