- 14 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This specification discloses an automobile terminal block for receiving fuses, and electrical connections to various electrical components of the automobile. The terminal block has a passage extending therethrough for receiving a fuse holder which is mounted within the terminal block. The fuse holder is adapted to receive the blade contact of a fuse thereby electrically connecting the fuse to the fuse holder. Typically, the fuse holder has a spring clip with two prongs spring biased against one another so that the blade can be resiliently secured between the two prongs. The terminal block includes an entry control ledge for guiding the blade contacts of the fuse toward the fuse holder. The entry control ledge extends from the sides of the passage in a position aligned with the spring clip so that the blade contact can be guided between the prongs of the spring clip and does not enter the region between the prongs and the walls of the passage. An entry control ramp can extend above the entry control ledge and provides both a securing influence and a guiding force on the body of the fuse. The upper face of the prongs positioned toward an incoming blade contact can be angled so that the blade contact striking the upper face is guided toward a position between the prongs.
