    Abstract: A fuse holder is disclosed. The fuse holder includes a housing having a fuse compartment and termination compartments, each termination compartment having a cable termination aperture for receiving a cable and a lock pin slot; a bus assembly disposed including current bars having a first end and a second end extending from the termination compartment to the termination compartment, the first end having fuse contacts extending from the first end, the second end including a barb extending from the second end; and, push-in clamps disposed within the termination compartment, the push-in clamps normally biased against the barbs; wherein insertion of an electrical cable into the cable termination aperture depresses and elastically deforms the push-in clamp such that a gap is formed between the barb and the push-in clamp, wherein the push-in clamp continuously applies a biasing force against the electrical cable non-removably clamping the cable into the termination aperture.
