Abstract: A female fuse having a one piece fuse link and thermal mass injection molded around a multifinger fuse clips. The fuse link, thermal mass, and fuse clip are enclosed in an insulating housing. The resulting fuse is smaller in size and operates at a cooler temperature than other fuses.

Abstract: A subminiature fuse includes a ceramic substrate with a glass coating disposed over a portion thereof. A fusing link is disposed on the glass coating, and weld pads for receiving fuse leads are disposed on opposite sides of the glass coating. The substrate, with leads attached, is encapsulated in plastic.

Abstract: An arc suppressing assembly for use in a circuit breaker having at least one pair of separable contacts which includes an arc stack assembly in back-to-back relationship with a baffle assembly with the arc stack assembly in between the baffle assembly and the separablecontacts. The arc stack assembly includes a pair of insulating support legs having a plurality of parallel slots which receive tabs of respective and generally rectangular-shaped arc plates with a recessed front portion of each arc plate facing toward the contacts. The uppermost arc plate is provided with an extending runner portion which attracts an arc formed upon the opening of the contacts under certain current conditions. The baffle assembly similarly includes a pair of insulating side supports with a plurality of parallel slots provided therein to receive tab portions provided on the sides of generally rectangular insulating baffles.
