Abstract
A fuse clip comprises a U-shaped retaining member and a U-shaped clamp member. The retaining member has a base and spaced convex walls for supporting one end of a ferrule-type fuse, parallel slots being provided in the base. The clamp member has an end wall and spaced side walls with mounting tabs at the ends of the side walls which pass through the slots in the base of the retaining member. The clip is attached to a mounting member by inserting the tabs through slots in the mounting member and folding the tabs. A clamp screw in the end wall of the clamp member secures a wire conductor in place in direct contact with the retaining member. A spring helper clip may be utilized to bias the convex walls of the retaining member into secure engagement with the fuse.
