Abstract
The invention is a blade fuse having a housing section and a fusible element. The housing includes an insulating portion or tab extending from the housing section, and disposed between opposite ends of the fusible element. One aspect of the invention is a blade fuse where the insulating tab is integral with the housing. The insulating tab may be integral with the head portion of the housing, and the insulating tab may extend downwardly from the head portion. In yet another embodiment, the invention is directed to a one-piece, metallic element for a blade fuse. The blade fuse element has a fusible link and a pair of terminals. The fusible element extends above, rather than between, the terminals.
