1. In a fuse link assembly including a conductable fusible means having two ends, two circuit conductor means for connecting said fusible means to an external electrical circuit, and two terminal means each connecting a circuit conductor to a respective end of said fusible means, the improvement wherein a tensioned force is applied to the fuse link assembly comprising:

  • two spaced-apart, integrally stamped conductive crimp members defining said two terminal means, said crimp members biased away from each other by the tension force;

    an electrically conductive strain relief means connected between said crimp members to reduce tension on said fusible means; and

    each crimp member including a first crimp section for receiving an end of said fusible means such that said fusible means is mechanically and electrically connected between said crimp members, a second discrete crimp section for receiving one of the circuit conductor means, and a third discrete integrally formed crimp section for securing said strain relief means.
