An electrical device assembly and method to attach an isolated single stud fuse assembly to an electrical device are disclosed. The electrical device assembly consists of multiple studs, one or more of which is replaced with the isolated single stud fuse. A conductive copper landing zone receives an electrically isolated steel stud. When the landing pad assembly is orbital riveted into a plastic housing of the electrical device, the stud is locked into the housing permanently. Electrical devices such as disconnect switches and power distribution modules, both of which include multiple studs, are good candidates for being adapted with the single stud fuse assembly.

A circuit protection assembly (CPA) is disposed between a source of power and a circuit to be protected. The CPA comprises a mounting block having a bore extending therethrough and a recess cavity on a first surface of the mounting block. A post having a first end is disposed within the recess cavity and a body portion extends through the bore. The body portion configured to receive a terminal and the second end configured to receive a securing mechanism. A fuse having a centrally disposed aperture is configured to receive the body portion of the post and to receive the terminal for connection to a circuit to be protected. An insulator disposed on the terminal and disposed beneath the securing mechanism. The insulator configured to isolate the post from the terminal and the fuse while allowing the securing mechanism to apply an amount of torque.

A modular I/O device includes a terminal base with a terminal block that includes a plurality of wiring connectors. An auxiliary wiring device includes a plurality of auxiliary wiring connectors and is selectively physically connectable to the terminal base in an operative position and selectively physically removable from the terminal base. The terminal block and auxiliary wiring connector can be coupled to an I/O module. One or more of the I/O module terminal block and auxiliary wiring connector can include electrical or electronic components included converters, fuses, switches, etc.

A bus bar connector with a replaceable fuse are provided. A first terminal assembly inside the casing includes a first connecting element and plural first resilient contacts electrically connected with the first connecting element. A second terminal assembly inside the casing includes a second connecting element and plural second resilient contacts. An end of the second connecting element is electrically connected with the plural second resilient contacts, and another end of the second connecting element extends to form a cable connecting portion. The first cable assembly includes a first cable body extending from at least one of the left and right sides of the casing, and a cable connection portion connected to one side of the first cable body. The fuse element is connected in series between the cable connection portion and the first connecting element. The second cable assembly is electrically connected to the cable connecting portion.

The invention relates to a terminal (1) for electrical cables (L1, L2), comprising a housing (G) on which are provided at least two connections (A, A1-A6) for electrically connecting in each case one electrical cable (L1, L2) to one connection line (14, 14A-14F) arranged in the housing (G), wherein the connection lines (14, 14A-14F) are electrically disconnected from each other at a disconnection point (X1-X6) between two contacts (K, K1-K6). According to the invention, the housing (G) forms at least one receptacle (R) at which the contacts (K, K1-K6) of the disconnection point (X1-X6) of the connection lines (14, 14A-14F) are arranged such that they can be electrically contacted by a component (13, 18A-18C) which can be attached to the at least one receptacle (R).

A junction box assembly and a terminal assembly configured to prevent a short circuit is provided. In one aspect, the terminal assembly includes a pair of terminals spaced apart from each other and a spacer configured to retain the pair of terminals in a fixed position with respect to each other. In another aspect, the spacer includes a plurality of fuses, and each fuse is electrically connected to a corresponding slot so as to help prevent a power surge through a respective output portion of the terminal. In yet another aspect, the terminal housing has a side wall having a rib extending a height at least as high as the combined height of the output portion and terminal connector when the two are laid on top of each other, preventing the terminal connector from coming into contact with an adjacent terminal connector.
