Fuse Body Styles

Fuses come in a wide variety of shapes and styles. Fuse bodies are generally constructed from glass or ceramic and feature two metal contact points. These contacts could be cylindrical end caps, metal blades, metal tags or axial leads. Some fuses also have extra features such as visual / trip indicators or lugs for mounting microswitches / fuse removal.
