Abstract

A fuse holder has a base, an electrically conductive element and a cover which secures the element to the base. The base has opposite sides formed with projections and recesses which are releasably engageable with complementary recesses and projections of another base. The conductive element is arranged to contact a conductive element on the other base when the releasable locking position is reached. The conductive element has arms from which project contacts that are electrically isolated from other cooperating contacts. By inserting fuse terminals through slots in a cover that are directly over the contacts and cooperating contacts, electrical connection is made between the contacts and the cooperating contacts. Preferably, four, six or fourteen fuses may be held at the same time by any one fuse holder.
