Abstract: Polyamide resin composition for fuse element consisting of 95-5% by mass of polyamide copolymer (A) and 5-95% by mass of polyamide homopolymer (B). Above-mentioned polyamide resin composition for fuse element, wherein a silicate layer (C) of swellable lamellar silicate is dispersed on molecular order level and the content of the silicate layer (C) is 0.1-20% by mass. A fuse element which has a housing and a pair of terminals projecting from the prescribed flat surface of the housing and standing in a parallel and accommodates a fuse-element connecting between the base ends of said two terminals in said housing, wherein the housing is made of said polyamide resin composition.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a polyamide resin composition for fuse elements, assuring sufficient arc resistance upon boosting of vehicles voltage (e.g., 42 V system), being excellent in rigidity, heat resistance and transparency. The present invention relates to a polyamide resin composition for fuse elements, comprising: a mixed polyamide 100 parts by mass consisting of (A) polycaproamide (nylon 6) 95 to 5% by mass and (B) poly(hexamethylene adipamide) (nylon 66) 5 to 95% by mass; and (C) asilicatelayerof lamellarsilicate 0.1 to 20 parts by mass dispersed on molecular order level in the above described (A) and/or (B). The polyamide resin composition may further contain (D) an antioxidant, (E) a metal soap based lubricant, and/or (F) an inorganic fibrous reinforcing material are contained. The present invention also relates to a fuse element formed from the polyamide resin composition for fuse elements.

Abstract: A compact fuse (1) for an automobile is provided. The fuse is formed by a fuse element (2) and an insulative housing (3) having a cutaway portion (8). The fuse element includes two base plates (4) and a melting portion (5) connecting the base plates. The melting portion is accommodated in the housing and parts of the base plates are exposed from the housing. The length of the base plate is the sum of the length (A) of the melting portion in the longitudinal direction of the base plate, the length (B) of a notch (4c) in the longitudinal direction of the base plate, and the length (C) of a cover supporting portion in the longitudinal direction of the base plate.

Abstract: A flow control valve coupling structure that does not require complicated machining and facilitates the installation of a flow control valve. The coupling structure includes a fitting portion having a male thread that is formed on a peripheral surface of the flow control valve. A coupled member has a coupling hole to receive the flow control valve. A cylindrical elastic sealing member is engaged with the coupling hole to seal the space between the flow control valve and the coupling hole. The elastic sealing member has an inner surface defining a mounting hole in which the fitting portion is fitted. A female thread is formed on the inner surface and is mated with the male thread of the fitting portion.
