A fuse header includes a housing with cavities and terminals mounted in the housing adjacent the cavities. Fuses can be mounted removably in the cavities so that the fuses connect to the terminals in the respective cavity. Ends of the terminals opposite the fuses have widths that are narrowed substantially and may equal the thickness of the terminals. The narrow widths impede a flow of heat from the fuse to large conductive regions on a circuit board that could function as a heat sink. Thus, the fuses will provide more reliable protection for components downstream of the fuses.
