A Full-Range fuse element assembly includes an insulative former having opposite first and second ends and electrically conducting connectors coupled to ends of the former. A plurality of fuse elements extend between the first connector and the second connector about the insulative former, and each of the fuse elements include a low current interrupting fuse element portion extending from the first connector and a high current limiting fuse element portion extending from the second connector. An insulative sleeve surrounds each of the low current interrupting fuse element portions, and each sleeve includes an end adjacent a respective one of the high current limiting fuse element portions. Each of the low current interrupting fuse element portions includes a weak spot located proximate the second end of a respective one of the sleeves.
