  • Patent number: 5154640
    Abstract: An accessory fuse connector is provided that attaches to a fuse housing and provides electrical communication between the fuse and the original vehicle circuitry. Attachment legs secure the connector to the fuse housing and function to position an elongated contact arm over an exposed part of the fuse circuitry. The arm has an end tab and/or projection that contacts the exposed part so that current may be transmitted back through the arm and connector to an accessory connector tab. The desired accessory can then be operated by wiring it to the connector tab. When the connector is used in association with a blade or plastic sheathed fuse, a nonconductive spacer is attached to the connector body to enhance attachment and prevent a short circuit.
