A fuse assembly includes a fuse element, a first terminal, a second terminal, a socket, and a capsule. The fuse element is disposed between first and second end bells. The first terminal includes a first bell portion, a first socket portion, and a first capsule portion, the first bell portion being connected to the first end bell. The second terminal includes a second bell portion, a second socket portion, and a second capsule portion, the second bell portion being connected to the second end bell. The first socket portion and the second socket portion are integrated through the socket. The first capsule portion and the second capsule portion are integrated through the capsule. The socket is seated atop the capsule to create an interior chamber inside which the fuse element is disposed.

A terminal and a central electrical box are disclosed. The terminal is used to be mounted on a circuit board. The terminal comprises: a first termination part; a second termination part; and a bending part connected between the first termination part and the second termination part. The bending part is bent by a predetermined angle relative to the first termination part and the second termination part, so that the first termination part and the second termination part are staggered by a predetermined distance along a direction transverse to a direction of inserting the terminal to the circuit board. When the terminal is mounted on the circuit board, one of the first termination part and the second termination part passes through the circuit board. In the present invention, the terminal passes through the circuit board, so that two electronic devices located on both sides of the circuit board can be directly electrically connected through the terminal. Therefore, the number of terminals is reduced, and there is no need to set wiring for electrically connecting the terminals on the circuit board, which greatly reduces the cost.

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.

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.
