A fuse mounting structure and a batter system are provided according to the present application, the fuse mounting structure is used for mounting a fuse to a battery box, and includes a drawer and a fuse base; where the fuse base is mounted in the battery box, and the drawer is used for mounting the fuse; the drawer is provided with a guide device in a sliding fit with the fuse base, so as to guide the drawer to be inserted into the fuse base. According to the fuse mounting structure, the guide device is arranged on the drawer, the guide device guides the drawer with fuse when the drawer enters the fuse base, there is no need to align the plug-in holes, which realizes blind insertion of fuses and reduces the workload of fuse insertion.

The present disclosure provides a fuse for protecting a 48V battery system of an electric vehicle, which includes a shell and a fuse element arranged in the shell, wherein the fuse element includes a fusing portion, and a first heating portion and a second heating portion which are connected to two sides of the fusing portion, respectively and the fusing portion has a width greater than that of the first heating portion and the second heating portion, the fusing portion includes at least one hole which partitions the fusing portion into constricted portions each having a width less than that of the first heating portion or the second heating portion, and the fusing portion, the first heating portion and the second heating portion are formed integrally.

An electronic module is an electronic module for a vehicle, including a casing that has a through hole in communication with the inside and the outside of the casing and a bus bar includes a strip-shaped connection terminal to be fitted into a connector of a fuse, the connection terminal includes one end portion in its longitudinal direction exposed to the outside of the casing. The casing has a first flat surface in a peripheral edge portion of the insertion hole, on the inner side of the casing, the connection terminal includes an extension portion that is located on another end side in the longitudinal direction with respect to the one end portion and extends in a width direction of the connection terminal, and the extension portion has a second flat surface that comes into contact with the first flat surface from the inner side of the casing.

A manual disconnect for an electric circuit includes a base with primary terminals and an interlock connector. A plug assembly has fuse terminals and an interlock resistor assembly. The plug assembly is adapted to be moved relative to the base between a disconnected position, a primary circuit engaged position, and an interlock position. The plug assembly is moved linearly and rotationally relative to the base when moving between these positions. The manual disconnect also includes a connector position assurance assembly. The connector position assurance assembly includes a connector position assurance button that is movable relative to the plug assembly. The connector position assurance button can be moved between a pre-lock position and an assurance position. When located in the assurance position, the connector position assurance assembly prevents the plug assembly from rotating relative to the base.

Provided herein are approaches for securing an electrical protection device (e.g., a fuse). In one approach, an apparatus includes a conductor and a terminal coupling the conductor to the fuse, wherein the terminal includes an end cap having a cavity for receiving and securing the conductor, and a set of contact elements extending from a base member. The base member may be coupled to the end cap, and a body of the fuse may be coupled to the base member. In some approaches, a fuse blade of the fuse is disposed between the set of contact elements. In some approaches, the apparatus further includes a cover adjacent the terminal, wherein the cover is configured to engage the contact elements to increase a contact force and electrical connection between the set of contact elements and the fuse blade.

A vertically-oriented blade fuse system requires less surface area on a printed circuit board, provides improved heat dissipation, is less expensive to manufacture and assemble and is more reliable. It comprises a fuse having two connection plates that extend away from each other in opposite directions. One of the plates is forced into a fork-shaped connector, which grabs both sides of the plate. The other connection plate is fit into a mating female connector. Multiple vertically-oriented fuses, laterally spaced from each, are connected to corresponding connection forks and female connectors inside a housing, which can be latched to a circuit board.
