  • Undermolded and overmolded fuse joints
    Patent number: 10192706
    Abstract: A novel fuse joint may be incorporated into a wire harness for use in solar energy installations. The novel fuse joint interfaces an in-line fuse with the middle portion of a wire segment at one end of the fuse, and with a wire end at the other end of the fuse. In this manner the number of connection points required to achieve in-line fuse functionality is decreased, thereby improving safety and conductivity over conventional in-line fuses. The fuse is undermolded, and the undermold is overmolded in situ, thereby yielding a double molded fuse joint. The novel fuse joint may be incorporated into a wire harness with conventional in-line fuses.
