  • Patent number: 11842876
    Abstract: A single bolt fuse assembly and method to connect a single bolt fuse to a circuit or device are disclosed. The single bolt fuse assembly enables the single bolt fuse to be used on any electrical device having a hole suitable for receiving a threaded shaft and connectable to a circuit or device that electrically connects to a female battery or power cable. The apparatus includes a separate high-conductive metal terminal that mates with the stud that mechanically attaches the fuse between the electrical devices. The stud is insulated to avoid becoming part of the electrical circuit and to ensure proper operation of the fuse. By mechanically attaching the stud to the metal terminal, the stud is unlikely to get separated from the fuse.

  • Patent number: 8884169
    Abstract: A circuit assembly that includes a planar lead frame formed of electrically conductive material having a first thickness. The lead frame is configured to define a routing plane and a plurality of coplanar sections in the routing plane. The circuit assembly also includes a top-side terminal formed of electrically conductive material having a second thickness independent of the first thickness. The top-side terminal is configured to be inserted into a hole defined in a section and form an electrical connection to the section, wherein the top-side terminal protrudes from the routing plane.
