A fused plug wherein each of the line cord wires is connected within an encapsulating plug to the prongs extending from said plug with a fuse wire extending between each of the line cord wires and the prong. A small sleeve is crimped at one end of each of the fuse wires and, at the opposite end, each such sleeve is connected to the line cord wire. Similar sleeves at the opposite ends of the fuse wire are crimped to the fuse wire and to a wire connected to the prong. A protective tube encases the pair of sleeves which are spaced from each other by the effective length of the fuse wire. Both line cord leads may be similarly through the same type of fuse to the plug prongs. The entire fuse structure as well as the portion of the line cord entering the fuse and the portion of the prongs extending inside the plug are encapsulated by the plug material.
