Caps for power distribution system components
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A power distribution system component comprising:
- a housing having a first end and a second end, wherein a first electrical terminal extends from the first end and a second electrical terminal extends from the second end;
a first end cap disposed at the first end of the housing, the first end cap being a substantially solid structure from a center aperture of the first end cap to an outer wall of the first end cap, the first end cap being made of a heat resistive material that softens when subject to high levels of heat but does not melt, flow or generate sparks when subject to high levels of heat for a predetermined period of time; and
a second end cap disposed at the second end of the housing.
