  • Thermal fuse and method for the activation thereof
    Patent number: 5600295
    Abstract: The thermal fuse has a spring clip (1) with solder locations (5, 6) at both ends as well as a bending section (4) in the region between the solder locations. Given a tension-free spring clip, the spacing between the solder locations (5, 6) corresponds to the regular spacing of the appertaining circuit contacts (15, 16) of the substrate. After the spring clip has been soldered onto the circuit contacts (15, 16), the bending section (4) is deformed such by applying force that a pre-stress arises in the spring arms (2, 3) of the spring clip.
