  • Fuse element and method for making same
    Patent number: 7312688
    Abstract: A fuse element strip with a central metallic section having a part with a high melting point and a part with a low melting point embedded in the high melting point part, and two lateral metallic sections with a high melting point. Each lateral section is joined to the high melting point part of the central section by a weld of fused material, and the joined sections have the same thickness so that the strip has three coplanar sections. The high melting point and low melting point parts of the central metallic section alloy at the low melting point causing the strip to melt at the melting temperature of the alloy.
