Patent ID: 7504926

Claim:
A fuse module for supplying power from a common power supply to a plurality of power input sections of a circuit assembly through respective fuse elements, the fuse module comprising: a branch-connection conductor having an input terminal adapted to be connected to said power supply, and a plurality of fuse-connection terminals disposed correspondingly to said respective power input sections; a plurality of power-input conductors adapted to be electrically connected to a corresponding one of said power input sections, and each having a fuse-connection terminal disposed in a pair with a corresponding one of the fuse-connection terminals of said branch-connection conductor; and an insulation housing holding said branch-connection conductor and said plurality of power-input conductors, said insulation housing being formed with a plurality of fuse-installation portions for allowing said respective fuse elements to be detachably installed therein in such a manner that each of said fuse elements is connected to a fuse-connection terminal of said branch-connection conductor and the corresponding fuse-connection terminal of one of said plurality of power-input conductors to be interposed between said fuse-connection terminals of the each pair, wherein each of said power-input conductors has an electric-connection portion protruding outside said insulation housing to be electrically connected to a corresponding one of the power input sections of said circuit assembly, wherein said circuit assembly has a plurality of bus bars including a plurality of input bus bars corresponding to said power input sections, said bus bars being arranged to form a power circuit, wherein each of said power-input conductors is provided with a press-fit portion as the electric-connection portion, the press-fit portion adapted to be press-fitted into a through-hole formed in a corresponding one of said input bus bars to be electrically connected to said input bus bar.
