Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0349154A2] A terminal (10) comprises first and second U-shaped contact structures (12, 14) disposed in spaced relationship to define a blade receiving slot (38) for a contact blade (74, 76) (Fig. 5) of an automotive fuse (72) therebetween. The contact structures (12, 14) have first and second contact arms (16, 18, 22, 24) and a connecting portion (20, 26) and each contact arm has a generally convex arcuate contact edge (42, 43, 44, 45) extending into the blade receiving slot (38) to make contact with the blade (74, 76). The terminal further comprise mounting bases (28, 30). A pair or pairs of the terminals (10, 10A) are mounted in a dielectric housing (62) (Fig. 5) with their blade receiving slots (38) in line to receive the respective contact blades (74, 76) of the fuse (72). Solder tails (36) on the terminal bases (28) makc electrical contact with conductors of a printed circuit board (70).
