Abstract
A rejector pin member is field installable between the spring-loaded clip jaws of a terminal clip receiving a terminal blade of a cartridge fuse. The rejector pin allows the terminal clip to only accept a notched terminal blade of a fuse having a relatively low current rating and rejects the unnotched terminal blade of a cartridge fuse having a relatively high current rating, to prevent formation of an overcurrent heating hazard in the circuit protected by the fuse.
