Abstract
A secondary short preventing mechanism of a fuse is constituted by a pair of female terminal members in which male terminal receiving portions are formed at their longitudinally one ends respectively so that the male terminal receiving portions are to be engaged with and electrically connected to male terminal portions, and a fuse fusing portion is formed between their longitudinally other ends; and a housing for housing the female terminal portions, the housing having a vertically extending insulation partition for horizontally separating the male terminal receiving portions from each other in a loosely fitted state. Each of the male terminal receiving portions has raised pressing contact portions which oppose to each other at different levels, that is, at upper and lower positions in their longitudinal directions, the upper pressing contact portion being directed toward the insulation partition, and at least one of the pressing contact portions having elasticity.
