A fuse may include a leadframe including a first terminal having a first end and a second end, and a second terminal having a first end and a second end. A bridge may connect the respective second ends of the terminals. The bridge may have one or more protrusions disposed between the terminals and may be extended from the bridge. A base may have first and second apertures, and the first and second terminals may be at least partially disposed into the respective first and second apertures. The base may further include one or more indentations such that respective ends of the one or more protrusions are received in each of the one or more indentations. A plurality of wires may be connected from the first terminal to the second terminal, and each of the protrusions therebetween.

A fuse including a fuse body defining an inner cavity and having at least one fuse body aperture formed therethrough, a fuse element including a first terminal and a second terminal, a first endbell and a second endbell coupled to the fuse element, the first endbell having at least two grooves formed in a surface thereof and having a first O-ring seal disposed in at least one of the grooves, the second endbell having at least two grooves formed in a surface thereof and having a second O-ring seal disposed in at least one of the grooves, an adhesive securing the first and second endbells to the fuse body, an arc quenching material disposed within the inner cavity and contacting at least a portion of the fuse element, and end caps coupled to the fuse body, the end caps sealing a portion of the fuse element within the fuse body.

A fuse including a fuse body defining an inner cavity and having at least one fuse body aperture formed therethrough, a fuse element including a first terminal and a second terminal, a first endbell and a second endbell coupled to the fuse element, the first endbell having at least two grooves formed in a surface thereof and having a first O-ring seal disposed in at least one of the grooves, the second endbell having at least two grooves formed in a surface thereof and having a second O-ring seal disposed in at least one of the grooves, an adhesive securing the first and second endbells to the fuse body, an arc quenching material disposed within the inner cavity and contacting at least a portion of the fuse element, and end caps coupled to the fuse body, the end caps sealing a portion of the fuse element within the fuse body.

A fuse employing a plurality of tuning fork terminal configurations with an improved current capacity within a smaller footprint and a housing design to provide the terminals with insert protection and strain relief.
