Patent number: 11869739Abstract: An electrical device assembly and method to attach an isolated single stud fuse assembly to an electrical device are disclosed. The electrical device assembly consists of multiple studs, one or more of which is replaced with the isolated single stud fuse. A conductive copper landing zone receives an electrically isolated steel stud. When the landing pad assembly is orbital riveted into a plastic housing of the electrical device, the stud is locked into the housing permanently. Electrical devices such as disconnect switches and power distribution modules, both of which include multiple studs, are good candidates for being adapted with the single stud fuse assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2023Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Littelfuse, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Schwartz, Tiziano Bianchin, Massimiliano Tinto

Patent number: 11842876Abstract: A single bolt fuse assembly and method to connect a single bolt fuse to a circuit or device are disclosed. The single bolt fuse assembly enables the single bolt fuse to be used on any electrical device having a hole suitable for receiving a threaded shaft and connectable to a circuit or device that electrically connects to a female battery or power cable. The apparatus includes a separate high-conductive metal terminal that mates with the stud that mechanically attaches the fuse between the electrical devices. The stud is insulated to avoid becoming part of the electrical circuit and to ensure proper operation of the fuse. By mechanically attaching the stud to the metal terminal, the stud is unlikely to get separated from the fuse.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Littelfuse, Inc.Inventors: Tiziano Bianchin, Massimiliano Tinto, Andrew J. Jozwiak, Geoffrey Schwartz
