Abstract
A fuse assembly 1 including a pair of terminals 2 which are arranged in parallel to each other, a housing 4 having a cavity 20 for containing one end portions 3a of the terminals, and a fusible body 5 interconnecting the terminals 2. The fusible body 5 consists of a pair of supporting portions 39 connected to end faces 8 of the terminals 2, and a connecting portion 40 interconnecting the supporting portions 39. The fuse assembly 1 further includes anchoring parts 30 for fixing the fusible body 5 to the housing 4 and second anchoring parts 31 for fixing the terminals 2 to the housing 4. The anchoring parts 30 include through holes 45 formed in the supporting portions 39, and projections 46 projected from an inner face 17 of the housing 4 and adapted to be engaged in the through holes 45. Thus, conduction of heat generated in the fusible body 5 to electrical equipments connected to the terminals can be restrained.
