Abstract

See full text

A planar fuse panel is presented. In accordance with the present invention, a section of conductive metal of the desired thickness, temper and shape is stamped out from a sheet of conductive metal. Simultaneously, a fuse holding spring mechanism or bent tabs, or blade terminals are formed in the same stamping operation for frictionally engaging fuses or other electrical connectors. The fuse panel includes a plurality of male blade connectors of a known configuration extending from the edges as well as other locations on the fuse panel to accept a variety of I/O configurations. A multiplicity of circuits may be included in the planar fuse panel (in a multilayer fashion) depending on the number of circuits desired. The circuits may have any suitable planar shape. Also described is a spring clip for use with the various fuseplanes.
