Abstract
A fused battery terminal has a stamped and formed terminal member an insulative housing integrally molded over power supply line connection bolts, and a battery post mounting member attached to the terminal member. The terminal member is rigidly attached to the insulative support member thereby providing a safe and rigid support for a fuse link which is integral with the terminal member. Power supply lines can thus be clamped against connection platforms of the terminal member by the bolt and are thus directly connected to the battery post via the fuse link. Safety and reliability of the fuse connection between the battery and power supply line are thus enhanced due to the integral forming of the fuse line onto the battery post connection section.
