An electrical device assembly and method to attach an isolated single stud fuse assembly to an electrical device are disclosed. The electrical device assembly consists of multiple studs, one or more of which is replaced with the isolated single stud fuse. A conductive copper landing zone receives an electrically isolated steel stud. When the landing pad assembly is orbital riveted into a plastic housing of the electrical device, the stud is locked into the housing permanently. Electrical devices such as disconnect switches and power distribution modules, both of which include multiple studs, are good candidates for being adapted with the single stud fuse assembly.

A fuse module including a housing, a busbar disposed within the housing adjacent an interior surface of a rear wall of the housing, a terminal extending through a front wall of the housing and having a fuse coupling portion disposed within the housing adjacent an interior surface of a front wall of the housing and a conductor coupling portion protruding from an exterior surface of the front wall of the housing, and a movable pushrod extending through the rear wall of the housing and having a head portion disposed adjacent a rigid portion of the busbar for moving the rigid portion of the busbar between a retracted position, the rigid portion of the busbar located near the interior surface of the rear wall, and an extended position wherein the rigid portion of the busbar is located further from the interior surface of the rear wall relative to the retracted position.

The invention relates to an electrical power supply cable (10) for a photovoltaic installation, comprising an electrical conductor (12) having at least two electrical conductor portions (20, 22) and a fuse (24) arranged between said at least two electrical conductor portions, said at least one fuse electrically linking said at least two electrical conductor portions, the cable (10) further comprising a protection element (30, 40, 50, 60) overmolded around said fuse and forming an electrical insulation layer, said protection element comprising at least one overthickness at at least one end portion (34, 36) of the protection element (30).

A fuse holder includes a holder base comprising a plurality of protrusions each having a mounting hole formed therein to provide for mounting of the holder base to an external component and one or more mating protrusions and one or more mating slots formed on each of opposing side surfaces. The fuse holder also includes an input stud coupled to or formed on the holder base and a cover configured to attach to the holder base to at least partially enclose one or more fuses positionable on the fuse holder. The one or more mating protrusions and the one or more mating slots formed on each of the opposing side surfaces of the holder base comprise dovetailed protrusions and slots of a matching profile capable of receiving such a dovetailed protrusion, so as to enable a side-by-side stacking and interlocking of fuse holders with such mating protrusions and mating slots.

A connector configured to be fitted with a mating connector includes a main housing, a sub-housing supported on the main housing to be slidable in a fitting direction with respect to the main housing in which the connector is fitted with the mating connector, and an operating member pivotably and slidably supported on the main housing. The main housing moves closer to the mating connector when the operating member is pivoted from a first posture to a second posture. The sub-housing moves in the fitting direction when the operating member slides from the second posture in a direction different from the fitting direction. The sub-housing has an erroneous fitting prevention part abutting against the mating connector in a state of incomplete fitting of the connector with the mating connector.

A circuit protection assembly (CPA) is disposed between a source of power and a circuit to be protected. The CPA comprises a mounting block having a bore extending therethrough and a recess cavity on a first surface of the mounting block. A post having a first end is disposed within the recess cavity and a body portion extends through the bore. The body portion configured to receive a terminal and the second end configured to receive a securing mechanism. A fuse having a centrally disposed aperture is configured to receive the body portion of the post and to receive the terminal for connection to a circuit to be protected. An insulator disposed on the terminal and disposed beneath the securing mechanism. The insulator configured to isolate the post from the terminal and the fuse while allowing the securing mechanism to apply an amount of torque.

A charging device for electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids has a housing. At least one printed circuit board with fuses thereon is arranged on the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board, together with the fuses, is arranged in the interior of the housing and is connected to the housing in a force-fitting and/or interlocking manner by at least one fastening element (2). A covering element (1) covers the printed circuit board and the fastening element (2) at least in sections, and insertion or removal of the fuses onto or from the printed circuit board can be carried out only by removing the printed circuit board from the interior of the housing. The covering element (1) has to be damaged at least in sections to remove the printed circuit board.

A fusible link having a high-rated terminal group and a low-rated fuse box are provided. The low-rated fuse box has a power-source-side terminal connected to an auxiliary terminal of the fusible link, a load-side connection terminal to be connected to a load side, a holder configured to hold the power-source-side terminal and the load-side connection terminals, and a low-current fuse configured to electrically connect, when attached to the holder in a detachable manner, the power-source-side terminal and the load-side connection terminals to each other.

Provided is a fusible link unit in which a case includes case-side locking portions to be locked in a fusible link so as to affix the fusible link, the fusible link includes fusible link-side locking portions locked in the case-side locking portions, the fusible link-side locking portion on one side in a longitudinal direction is provided closer to a connected position of a bus bar than the fusible link-side locking portion on the other side in the longitudinal direction, and a gap size between the fusible link-side locking portion on the one side and the case-side locking portion in a vertical direction is made greater than a gap size between the fusible link-side locking portion on the other side and the case-side locking portion in the vertical direction.

A fuse unit attachment structure includes a fuse bracket to be mounted on a fuse unit directly attachable to a battery and a bracket connecting member for connecting the fuse bracket to the battery. The fuse bracket has a unit supporting portion to support the fuse unit so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to a lateral surface of the battery and a connecting member engaging portion to be engaged with the bracket connecting member so as to be movable in a direction along the lateral surface of the battery.
