Abstract
A plug-in fuse assembly comprising a housing made of insulating material and includes upwardly extending side walls bridged by upwardly extending end walls, and a conductive plug-in fuse element secured in the housing. The conductive plug-in fuse element has parallel confronting terminals projecting downwardly from the bottom of the housing. The housing end and side walls uniquely have outermost vertical coplanar wall surfaces, preferably at the sides and top margins thereof, which are parallel to the housing sides involved and to the corresponding outermost vertical coplanar wall surfaces on the opposite end or side of the housing. The outermost vertical coplanar wall surfaces are adapted to engage the complementary outermost vertical wall surfaces of an identical plug-in fuse assembly placed with the identical end-to-end or side-by-side orientation besides it. The outermost vertical coplanar wall surfaces of each wall occupy only a fractional part of the outer exposed surfaces of the housing end wall involved.
