Abstract
A novel fuse assembly design utilizes single-piece terminal assemblies and two-piece endbells. The two-piece endbells and terminal assembly feature mating elements that enable fastening of the endbell portions to the terminal assembly without use of adhesives. The mating elements also provide positioning guidance for ease of assembly. Slots in the endbells for receipt of insertion pins enable the endbells to be pre-cast/pre-molded without costly rework of molding tools.
