Abstract
A fuse clip, for a ferrule-like terminal of an electric fuse, has a base from which two arms extend upwardly to grip that ferrule-like terminal. Securing projections extend downwardly from, and extend below the level of, the bottom of that base to enter openings in a circuit board; and hence no part of that base need be overlain by any part of a rivet, bolt or other fastener. The upper ends of those arms are located below the level of the top of the ferrule-like terminal. The upper surface of the base has a line contact with the lowermost portion of the ferrule-like terminal, and each of the two arms also has a line contact with that ferrule-like terminal which is displaced at least one hundred degrees from that lowermost portion of that ferrule-like terminal.
