U-shaped retaining bracket for fuse links

摘要

Cost-effective retaining brackets (1) which can be processed using automatic belt machines and consist of a wire which is bent in a U-shape and whose centre part (2) is bent around through 180 DEG parallel to the plane formed by the free limb ends (3) are provided for the retention of a cylindrical fuse link (10), which is provided with metal caps (11), using pairs of retaining brackets (1) which are firmly soldered to a printed-circuit board (8), the distance between the clamping limbs, which grip the fuse link (10), of the centre part (2) being greater than the distance between the free limb ends (3), in order to provide security against axial displacement. For processing in automatic belt machines, a large number of retaining brackets (1) can be arranged on a belt stroke which is intended for automatic belt machines. <IMAGE>
