  • Patent number: 7119653
    Abstract: A fuse element is formed integrally from a conductive metal plate such that two narrow portions are formed side by side between a pair of electrical connection portions. The narrow portions each assume an arch shape and constitute a parallel conductive path. Arch-shaped convex portions are arranged so as to oppose to each other with a predetermined gap therebetween, thus constituting a fusing portion.

  • Patent number: 6759938
    Abstract: A fuse circuit (11) having a plurality of terminals (22, 23) provided on a common joint plate (21) and a fuse circuit (11′) having a plurality of terminals (22′, 23′) provided on a common joint plate (21′) are incorporated into a housing (12), thereby constituting a fuse link assembly (10). The plurality of fuse circuits (11, 11′) are provided with circuit connection portions (27, 27′) which share a power input portion. The fuse circuits (11, 11′) are incorporated into the housing (12) in parallel. As a result, the number of circuits is increased, by means of only enlargement of widthwise direction Y which is easy to increase while enlargement of longitudinal direction X stemming from packaging of circuits is minimized.
