The invention relates to a box (10) including a pair of fuses (14) intended for protecting an electrical apparatus. Each of the fuses (24, 26) has a first end (28, 32) and a second end (30, 34), said fuse box (10) comprising a pair of output terminals (46, 50) coupled with the first ends (28, 32) and a pair of input terminals (80, 86) coupled with the second ends (30, 34). The box further comprises at least one other pair (16) of fuses, each of the fuses (25, 27) of said at least one other pair having other first (36, 40) and second (38, 42) ends, and another pair of input terminals (64, 70) coupled respectively with the other second ends (38, 42). The other first ends (36, 40) of said at least one other pair of fuses are coupled respectively with the terminals of said pair of output terminals (46, 50).

An automotive vehicle fuse box includes a receptacle having a bottom, a pair of fuses fitted into the bottom, a pair of output terminals coupled to first ends, respectively, of the fuses, and a pair of input terminals coupled to second ends, respectively, of the fuses. The pair of output terminals extends from the receptacle in a first direction, while the pair of input terminals extends from the receptacle in a second direction. The fuse box also includes at least one other pair of fuses fitted into the bottom and another pair of input terminals coupled to second ends, respectively, of the other pair of fuses. The other pair of input terminals extends substantially in parallel to the second direction. First ends of the other pair of fuses are coupled to the terminals of the pair of output terminals, respectively.
