Abstract: Disclosed is a protective element, comprising an insulator, a fusible element, and electrodes, wherein the insulator covers a meltable part of the fusible element. The electrodes are disposed at two ends of the insulator. Two ends of the fusible element are electrically connected to the electrodes. Wave absorbing structures are disposed around the fusible element in the insulator, a plurality of protrusions is provided on the wave absorbing structures, and the protrusions face the fusible element. Distances exist between the wave absorbing structures and the fusible element.

Abstract: A multi-layer fuse and its manufacturing method are provided. The multi-layer fuse comprises a ceramic substrate, back electrodes, front electrodes, fuse wire, protective layers and metal ends, wherein the fuse wire is prepared in multiple layers and the adjacent layers of fuse wire are connected in a head-to-tail style; the two lead-outs of the fuse wire as a whole are respectively connected to the two front electrodes located at the two ends of the substrate, and each layer of the fuse wire is deposited with a protective layer. During manufacturing, all protective layers but the upmost one leaves the tail of each layer of fuse wire uncovered so that the head-to-tail series connection is possible.
