IMPROVEMENTS IN FUSED ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS

摘要

2110795 9222945 PCTABS00018 An electrical connector, such as a domestic supply plug, has a cartridge fuse (60) clamped within a receptacle or cage comprising two parts (61, 62) which snap engage together. The cage part (61 or 62) or both have spline formations (63) on an outer surface. The plug body (64) has a cavity (65) extending from an outer surface and including channels (66) complementary to the spline (63) on the cage. The fuse and cage assembly may thus be pressed into the body of the plug with the spline forming the key such that only the correct fuse assembly may fit the chosen plug.
