housing a fuse assembly within a central cavity of a body, the fuse assembly comprising:
a fusible link extending between a first lead end and a second lead end; and
a first lead extending from the first lead end and a second lead extending from the second lead end;
coupling together a first section and a second section of the body, wherein the first and second sections define the central cavity, wherein an interior face of the first section is engaged with an opposite interior face of the second section, wherein a first section engagement member of the first section extends within a second section engagement channel of the second section, and wherein a second section engagement member of the second section extends within a first section engagement channel of the first section; and
wrapping the first lead and the second lead around an outermost exterior end surface of the first section of the body and around an outermost exterior end surface of the second section of the body, wherein the first and second leads further wrap around an outermost exterior bottom surface of the first section of the body and around an outermost exterior bottom surface of the second section of the body to extend across an intersection of the first section and the second section of the body.
