Abstract
A fuse having a pair of blade-type male terminals inserted into one opening of a fuse housing, which is made of synthetic resin, having a through hole. An element portion of the fuse is removably inserted into the other opening of the housing. The element portion includes a pair of leg portions fitted at their distal ends in element holding portions on the terminals. A fusible portion interconnecting proximal ends of the leg portions and one end of a connecting portion extending in a direction opposite to a direction of extending of the terminals. A heat-radiating plate portion is formed integrally on the other end of the connecting portion, and is covered with a cover. The cover is exposed exteriorly of the housing when the element portion is inserted into the housing.
