Publication number: 20240071705Abstract: A power supply control device is to be installed in a vehicle. The power supply control device controls power supply via a semiconductor switch and a fuse by turning the semiconductor switch ON or OFF. The semiconductor switch and the fuse are mounted on a circuit board. In the fuse, two long plate-shaped terminals are arranged in a row. The fusing portion and a part of the two terminals are covered with a housing having heat resistance. The two terminals are disposed in a current path of a current flowing through the semiconductor switch. The current flows through the fusing portion. If the temperature of the fusing portion exceeds a predetermined temperature, the fusing portion is fused.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Ryosuke MASUDA, Masayuki KATO, Shunichi SAWANO, Ryohei SAWADA
