An in-line fused connector includes an outer housing and a fuse subassembly disposed in the outer housing. The fuse subassembly includes a mating terminal that is configured to engage a first conductive body of the power distribution module and an internal terminal coupled with the fused conductor that electrically couples with an electronic device. The mating terminal and the internal terminal are shaped to receive a fuse to electrically couple the mating terminal and the internal terminal. Electric current that is supplied by the power distribution module is conveyed through the fuse subassembly when the fuse subassembly receives the fuse and the mating terminal of the fuse subassembly mates with the first conductive body of the power distribution module through an opening in the front end of the housing. The fuse is removable from the fuse subassembly through the front end.

A method and system for guiding and controlling an ordinance body having a trajectory and a bore sight angle including making corrections to the trajectory based on bore sight angle vs. time history. The system is incorporated with existing fuse components in a replacement kit for existing munitions. The method determines nominal time values of the ballistic trajectory of the munition in relation to launch time and determines deviation from the nominal time values by an algorithm by analyzing signals received from a source of radiation located at the target. A processor determines lateral (left / right) and range errors and provides commands to a plurality of flight control surfaces mounted on the munition.

The present invention relates to an electrical fuse cutout comprising: (i) an insulator having a composite body and at least two connectors, wherein a first connector couples the composite body to a fuse assembly and a second connector couples the body to a utility structure; (ii) a housing containing the composite body; and (iii) a fuse assembly.

A fuse assembly includes a main component partially encased in a protective sheath. The main component includes a pair of connectors formed of an electrically conductive material to allow the fuse assembly to be electrically connected into an electric vehicle drive system. A fusible link is electrically connected between the connectors and is preferably encased in the protective sheath. The fusible link reacts to current flowing through the fuse assembly in excess of a predetermined current for a predetermined time, as is well known to those skilled in the art.

An optically guided munition and control system has a replacement fuse assembly mounted on the front of a munition body or shell casing. An optical seeker subsystem detects an illuminated target and supplies signals to a processor. The processor develops steering commands sent to a flight control subsystem having a plurality of guidance canards which are actuated by drive motors through gear assemblies. The roll of the munition is established and left / right and up / down steering commands are sent to the canard drive motors based upon the optical seeker subsystem detection of the target illuminator. Range adjustment is based upon bore sight lockdown angle and cross range control is based upon left / right centering error. A code is contained in the optical radiation received from the illuminated target which must be validated by a preset code in the system processor to arm the munition.

The fuse assembly contains a first casing member with a first chamber, and a second casing member with a second chamber. An enclosed space is thereby formed by joining the first and second casing members together. A disconnection member is sandwiched between the first and second casing members. The disconnection member contains two electrodes and a fuse element between the two electrodes. Each electrode contains a first lateral section, a vertical section, and a second lateral section, jointly and integrally forming a C-like shape. The electrodes are positioned at two opposing ends of the second casing member and the fuse element is housed in the enclosed space. The enclosed space allows the fuse element to break off completely, thereby avoiding electrical arc and achieving enhanced usage safety.

A remote battery terminal expander for electrically connecting a plurality of appliances to a vehicle battery is disclosed that includes an electrical terminator assembly having a permanent electrical communication with a wire, where the terminator is adapted for electrical connection to the positive terminal of a battery and this terminator assembly is permanently attached to a conductive metal terminal block. The terminal block has a multi-sided block shape, usually with a rectangular shape. The plurality of appliances are in electrical communication with the electrical terminator assembly by use of alternating threaded apertures in each of the sides for receiving threaded fasteners to electrically secure the appliance wires from the plurality of appliances desired to be hooked to the vehicle battery for its power requirements. For safety sake, a fuse assembly is placed in electrical communication between the electrical terminator assembly and the conductive metal terminal block so that the appliance wires can be secured to the terminal block in a non-90° configuration, such that space is saved and a multitude of connections can be made in a small amount of space, without stacking all the connectors onto the positive and negative battery terminals.
