A high power fuse includes a fuse body having a first terminal receptor including a first set of terminal legs and a second terminal receptor in spaced relation to the first terminal receptor. The second terminal receptor includes a second set of terminal legs. A fuse element is disposed between the first terminal receptor and the second terminal receptor. A first clamp-like member is mounted to the fuse body for applying a predetermined compression force against the first set of terminal legs and is configured to secure a first male terminal between the first set of terminal legs. A second clamp-like member is mounted to the fuse body for applying a predetermined compression force against the second set of terminal legs and is configured to secure a second male terminal between the second set of terminal legs.
