Fuse holder for an automotive fuse terminal block

摘要

This specification discloses a fuse holder for an automotive terminal block for receiving fuses and electrical connections to various electrical components of the automobile. The fuse holder is positioned within the terminal block and is adapted to receive the blade contact of a fuse thereby establishing an electrical connection to the fuse. Typically, the fuse holder has a spring clip with two prongs spring biased against one another so that the blade contact can be resiliently secured between two prongs. The fuse holder can have a pair of attaching prongs to hold a wire providing an electrical connection to the fuse holder. A stop tab is positioned adjacent the attaching prongs so that a wire slipped between the attaching prongs is limited in movement toward the spring clip of the fuse holder so that it does not interfere with entry of the fuse blade between the two prongs.
