DEFINITION

Classification: 337/190

(under subclass 187) Subject matter wherein the external circuit connector structure comprises two or more line terminals having means specifically recited, whereby a fuse link or element is either held in the operative position or is maintained under tension by means of the terminal structure. The devices found usually comprise insulator structure combined with or forming a support for flexible contact members conductively maintained intension by the ends of a conductive fuse link which, upon rupture of the fuse, is released from the flexible contacts.
