An improved fuse assembly having a unique structure comprising a rigid tubular member having preformed solder-receiving recesses on its outer surface at each end of the tubular member. A fusible element is stretched between the ends of the tubular member and a preformed notch on the rim at each end of the tubular member serves to pick up each end of the fusible element and bent thereover for embedding it into the preformed outer recesses of the tubular member.
