Abstract: To produce a cost-effective fuse in chip design, which is applied to a carrier substrate made of a Al2O3 ceramic having a high thermal conductivity, and which is provided with a fusible metallic conductor and a cover layer, in which the melting point of the metallic conductor may be defined reliably, it is suggested that an intermediate layer having low thermal conductivity be positioned between the carrier substrate and the metallic conductor, the intermediate layer being formed by a low-melting-point inorganic glass paste applied in the screen-printing method or an organic intermediate layer applied in island printing. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing the fuse is specified.

Abstract: In order to provide a method for isolating a circuit and a thermal link, wherein the link has a very low resistance and is suitable for high currents, in particular very high short load currents, and also has a high degree of reliability, in particular under difficult conditions, such as thermal and mechanical loading which lasts for a relatively long time, for example, the invention proposes that, during the phase transition of the material of the fusible element (10) from the solid to the liquid state, the volume of the fusible element (10) increases and the pressure increases and, owing to the increase in volume and the increase in pressure, the fusible element (10) is dislodged so as to break the electrical connection.

Abstract: A sensor device is provided for detecting thawing on surfaces with interdigital electrodes formed in a resistance layer which is formed on a substrate. In order to develop the sensor device further so that the measuring speed of the sensor device is further increased, the disclosure proposes that the interdigital electrodes and recesses between the interdigital electrodes have a moisture-sensitive hydrophilic surface through condensation cores applied to it.
