Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting a plurality of electrical load circuits to an electrical distribution loop via a removable element, such as a current limiting fuse. The connector includes a housing formed of an insulating resin system, including a chamber in which the removable element is disposed. First and second spaced contacts are carried by the housing which cooperate with first and second spaced electrodes carried by the removable element, to interconnect the first and second spaced contacts via the removable element. The housing defines first and second integral, tubular outward projections in which contacts are disposed which are connected to the first contact, and a plurality of additional integral, tubular outward projections in which contacts are disposed which are connected to the second contact. The first and second tubular projections are adapted to removably receive and electrically interconnect first and second electrical cables, respectively, in the electrical distribution loop, and the plurality of additional tubular projections are adapted to removably receive electrical cables connected to load circuits. Arc extinguishing members are carried by the housing and by the removable member, to make the assembly and disassembly of the connector load-make and load-break at the contact connected to the electrical distribution loop.
