Abstract
Abstract An electrical component, which may be a binding post, a connector plug or socket or a fuse holder, has a cover member of insulating material resiliently and releasably secured upon a structural member of the component. In a fuse holder comprising a flanged tubular body member of insulating material within which fits a carrier for a fuse cartridge, a first cover member is resiliently secured upon the flange and a second cover member is resiliently secured upon the outwardly presented end of the fuse carrier. In a socket connector the cover member is secured upon the mounting flange. In a plug connector the cover member is secured upon the plug itself. In a binding post the cover is secured upon a clamping nut.
