Abstract

A fuse to be connected to cable terminals with bolts comprises an electrical insulating housing, a fuse-element disposed in the housing and a pair of fuse contacts each connected at one end to both ends of the fuse element, respectively, and the other ends of the fuse contacts being protruded from the bottom of the housing in parallel with each other, and a notch to which a bolt for connecting a cable terminal to the fuse contact is fitted therein is formed in each fuse contact, and the notch is extended from the other end of the fuse contact toward the other end thereof. The fuse can be replaced without removing the bolt due to the provision of the notches in the fuse contacts, so that the operation efficiency when replaced is improved.
