Abstract

An electrical terminal block adapted for mounting on a printed circuit board and having integral fuse receptacles for each pair of electrical terminals, and a cover which provides a shock-safe fuse holder and extractor is disclosed. During insertion, the cover loosely retains the fuse while applying pressure only to the end caps. Only when a spent fuse is extracted is any force applied against the body of the fuse. The cover also furnishes visual access of the fuse element while maintaining electrical isolation.
