Abstract: Fuse adapters are connected to the contact rods of a vacuum fuse. A rubber coating is provided over the entire outer surface of the vacuum fuse, but not over the fuse adapters. An epoxy body is molded over the coated fuse and the fuse adapters. Cavities are provided in the body to define wells, the fuse adapters being exposed in the wells to permit electrical connection to the fuse through the adapters.
