  • Coupling device for short-circuit protection
    Patent number: 11901676
    Abstract: A coupling device is provided having a first connector with a first primary pin and a second primary pin. The coupling device also defines a first recess and a second recess. The first recess is configured to receive a first component selected from the group consisting of a fuse or a jumper, and the second recess is configured to receive a second component selected from the group consisting of a fuse or a jumper. The first recess is closed when the first component is received in the first recess. When the first recess is closed, the first component forms part of a first electrical circuit with the first primary pin. Additionally, the second recess is closed when the second component is received in the second recess. When the second recess is closed, the second component forms part of a second electrical circuit with the second primary pin.
