  • Unitary fuse clip having a wire wrap terminal
    Patent number: 4071290
    Abstract: A spring tension fuse clip is disclosed having a wire wrap leg formed integrally with the spring clip. The clip is formed from a single piece of material having a gauge heavy enough to satisfy the wire wrap terminal requirement while at the same time satisfying the spring tension fuse clip requirement. This result is achieved by coining the clip only at certain bends to reduce the spring tension to the desired amount. The clip is mounted to a flat surface by a locking tab on the wire wrap leg.
