This two-piece fuse comprises a generally rectangular plastic, dielectric housing, and a one-piece wire conductor. The conductor is folded into generally W-shaped configuration, and its inverted, V-shaped center section is inserted into a central recess in the bottom of the housing in such manner that its two, spaced, V-shaped legs are bent around the grooved, rounded ends of a pair of rigid web sections which project from the underside of the housing. Opposite ends of the folded wire are secured in a pair of spaced openings in the housing so that the two V-shaped legs of the wire are supported in a common plane by two web sections of the housing. The diameter of the wire is greater than the depth of the groove in each web section so that portions of the wire legs project out of the grooves for engagement with contacts when the leg sections of the wire are inserted into a cooperating female receptacle.
