Claim:
A fuse holder comprising a frame, spring means and limiter means, the frame comprising a first contact member and a second contact member adapted to receive an end of a fuse between them, the spring means being adapted to press the contact members against the fuse end to achieve an electrically conductive connection between the contact members and the fuse end, and the limiter means being adapted to define a largest possible depth of the fuse end in an installation direction between the first and second contact members, wherein the spring means comprise a ring spring having substantially a form of a circular arch and serving as the limiter means; wherein the frame is provided with slots for supporting a middle portion located between ends of the ring spring; wherein the slots are provided with projections configured to prevent the ring spring from rotating around an axis passing via the ends; and wherein the ring spring is placed in such a manner that when the fuse end is at said largest possible depth in the installation direction between the contact members, the fuse end is in contact with the middle portion located between the ends of the ring spring.
