A fuse module including a mounting block formed of an electrically insulating material, the mounting block having a rear wall extending from a base, a fuse plate including an electrically conductive bus bar disposed adjacent a rear surface of the rear wall, a fusible element electrically connected to the bus bar and disposed adjacent a front surface of the rear wall, and a fuse terminal electrically connected to the fusible element and extending onto a top of the base. The fuse module may further include an electrically conductive terminal post extending from the top of the base through the fuse terminal for facilitating connection to an electrical component.

Disclosed are various protection devices and associated methods. In some embodiments, a protection device may include a fuse assembly having a fusible link extending between a first lead end and a second lead end, and a first lead extending from the first lead end and a second lead extending from the second lead end. The protection device may further include a body including a first section coupleable with a second section, wherein the first and second sections define a central cavity housing the fusible link. The first section may include an interior face operable to engage an opposite interior face of the second section, an engagement member extending away from the interior face towards the second section, and an engagement channel adjacent the engagement member, the engagement channel operable to receive a corresponding engagement member of the second section.

An attachment structure includes a housing and a plate-shaped cover attached to the housing. The cover has a locking portion to fix the cover to the housing. The housing has a locked portion engaged with the locking portion to regulate a movement of the cover in a direction separating from the housing. The attachment structure is configured to engage the locking portion and the locked portion at an engagement place while the cover and the housing are pressed each other in directions separating from each other at a pressing place distant from the engagement place, and to form a space between the cover and the housing in a region between the pressing place and the engagement place, when the cover is attached to the housing.

The invention relates to a surge protection device ensemble comprising a surge protection device having an overvoltage protection means in a first housing, wherein the first housing has at least two connections for contacting the overvoltage protection means, characterized in that the surge protection device ensemble also has a fuse module having a fuse in a second housing, wherein the second housing has at least two connections for contacting the fuse, characterized in that the second housing having one of the connections of the fuse module is inserted in a form-fitting manner into one connection of the at least two connections of the surge protection device, wherein the fuse module provides an electrical connection on the inserted side between the fuse module and the surge protection device.

A cover includes a top wall, a first side wall, a second side wall facing the first side wall, and a lock releasing portion. The first side wall includes a locking portion engageable with a locked portion of a covered body. The second side wall includes an opposed locking portion engageable with an opposed locked portion of the covered body. The lock releasing portion includes: a release operation portion inclined and projecting from the top wall in a cover mounting direction; and a connecting portion connecting the release operation portion with the first side wall around the locking portion or the release operation portion with the locking portion.

A single bolt fuse assembly and method to connect a single bolt fuse to a circuit or device are disclosed. The single bolt fuse assembly enables the single bolt fuse to be used on any electrical device having a hole suitable for receiving a threaded shaft and connectable to a circuit or device that electrically connects to a female battery or power cable. The apparatus includes a separate high-conductive metal terminal that mates with the stud that mechanically attaches the fuse between the electrical devices. The stud is insulated to avoid becoming part of the electrical circuit and to ensure proper operation of the fuse. By mechanically attaching the stud to the metal terminal, the stud is unlikely to get separated from the fuse.

A fuse module including a mounting block formed of an electrically insulating material, the mounting block including a rear wall extending from a base, a fuse plate including an electrically conductive bus bar disposed on a bottom of the base, a fusible element electrically connected to the bus bar and disposed adjacent a rear of the rear wall, and a fuse terminal electrically connected to the fusible element and extending over a top of the rear wall, along a front of the rear wall, and onto a top of the base, the fuse module further including an electrically conductive terminal post extending from the top of the base through the fuse terminal for facilitating connection to an electrical component.

A fuse box for a battery of a vehicle includes: a lower housing having a space in which a fuse is housed and a bus bar for electrically connecting the battery and the fuse is seated; a plate-shaped upper housing having a through hole formed at a central portion thereof and a first extending portion extending upward along a circumference of the through hole, where the upper housing is assembled on an upper side of the lower housing; and a fuse cover that is coupled to an upper side of the upper housing to cover the fuse exposed through the through hole of the upper housing.

Provided is an electrical connection box according to which it is possible to easily handle a substrate and a fuse module. An electrical connection box for a vehicle includes: an insertion housing into which a plurality of fuses are to be inserted; a plurality of fuse terminals each having one end portion inserted into a surface of the insertion housing, the fuse terminals connecting the fuses to a substrate; and a holding member that is arranged opposing the one surface of the insertion housing and holds the fuse terminals. The holding member includes a gripping portion provided on a side opposite to the insertion housing, and the gripping portion has a finger placement portion used for gripping.
