Abstract
A sealed fuse holder (10) adapted to receive a fuse (14) having a fuse body (16) with a pair of spaced parallel male blade terminals (18, 20) extending therefrom, includes a resilient rubber electrically insulating receptacle (12) having a front face (26) with an opening (28) defining a cavity (30) extending rearwardly therefrom and having a back wall (32) spaced rearwardly from the front face and having side walls (28, 30) extending from the front face at the opening rearwardly to the back wall. A pair of spaced electrically conducting female terminal-receiving clips (22, 24) extend rearwardly from the back wall and receive respective blade terminals inserted rearwardly thereinto. A first seal (38) provides sealing from the front, and a second seal (12) including the back wall (32) provides sealing from the rear. The combination seals the electrical contact surfaces and the fusible link, and provides moisture-proof and explosion-proof sealing in marine application.
