Coupled to the housing at the first end is a first terminal assembly fabricated from a zinc-aluminum alloy, and coupled to the housing at the second end is a second terminal assembly also fabricated from the zinc-aluminum alloy. The first and second terminal assemblies include a copper plating entirely covering an exterior of the zinc-aluminum alloy. A fuse element assembly is positioned inside the housing and is electrically connected between the first terminal assembly and the second terminal assembly.
