MODULAR FUSE HOLDER AND ARRANGEMENT AND CONNECTION THEREOF
First Claim
1. A fuse holder comprising:
- a holder base including;
a plurality of protrusions each having a mounting hole formed therein to provide for mounting of the holder base to an external component;
one or more mating protrusions and one or more mating slots formed on each of opposing side surfaces;
an input stud coupled to or formed on the holder base; and
a cover configured to attach to the holder base to at least partially enclose one or more fuses positionable on the fuse holder;
wherein the one or more mating protrusions and the one or more mating slots formed on each of the opposing side surfaces of the holder base comprise dovetailed protrusions and slots of a matching profile capable of receiving such a dovetailed protrusion, so as to enable a side-by-side stacking and interlocking of fuse holders with such mating protrusions and mating slots.

10. A fuse assembly comprising:
-
a fuse holder including; a holder base comprising; a main body; an electrically conductive insert molded in the main body; and a receptacle secured onto or formed integrally with the main body, the receptacle partially covering the electrically conductive insert and extending upwardly from the main body; and an input stud coupled to or formed on the holder base and electrically coupled to the electrically conductive insert; and a printed circuit board (PCB) fuse assembly including; a printed circuit board (PCB); fuse terminal blocks mounted to the PCB; fuse terminals positioned within the fuse terminal blocks and electrically connected to the PCB; and blade-type fuses inserted in the fuse terminals and electrically connected to the PCB through the fuse terminals; wherein the PCB fuse assembly is secured onto the receptacle to mount the PCB fuse assembly on the holder base. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A fuse holder for holding one or more marine rated battery fuses (MRBF fuses) therein, the fuse holder comprising:
-
a holder base comprising an electrically conductive buss bar molded therein; a pair of connection studs coupled to or formed on the holder base, with the pair of connection studs constructed to provide for positioning of the one or more MRBF fuses thereon; and a cover configured to attach to the holder base to cover the one or more MRBF fuses and the pair of connection studs; wherein the electrically conductive buss bar of the holder base transfers power from an input wire or buss bar to the one or more MRBF fuses, with the electrically conductive buss bar being electrically isolated from the pair of connection studs, such that the pair of connection studs are on a load side of the one or more MRBF fuses. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
