Abstract
The fuse holder contains a socket and a head member loosely seated in the socket by a quick release closure, and can be removed along the lengthwise axis of the fuse holder. Seated in the socket at its closed end is a base contact containing a connection tab and a lateral contact having a connection tab. At the head member, the closed end of which is located at the open end of the socket, there is provided a substantially U-shaped, asymmetric connection conductor fixedly clawing into the head member by retaining flaps provided at a web portion of the connection conductor. The unequal legs of the connection conductor extend from the web portion at an inclination inwardly at a predetermined location towards the lengthwise axis of the fuse holder to an internal contact location for a first cap member of the fuse insert. A second cap member thereof is pressed by an axial compression spring against the base contact. One leg of the connection conductor again extends outwardly at an inclination up to an external contact location where it produces a frictional connection with the lateral contact. The other leg of the connection conductor extends outwardly at an inclination up to a supporti…
