Abstract
A fuse holder for an indicating fuse has a generally U-shaped body with a pair of spaced flexible electrically conductive side walls extending from a base and forming a cavity therebetween for receiving a fuse. An electrically conductive finger projects from each of the side walls into the cavity at an acute angle. Upon insertion of a fuse, between the free ends of the side walls opposite the base and into the cavity, the fingers are pivoted towards the respective side walls, and the side walls are deformed with the free ends thereof being rotated towards the fuse, such that electrical contact is made with the fuse at four different locations, by the two fingers and the ends of the two side walls.
