Abstract: A fusible spiral conductor for a fuse component includes an electrically insulating or high resistance core, at least one fusible conductive wire wound around the core, and a temperature-resistant plastic material. The temperature-resistant plastic material applied to the core and arranged such that at least the surface regions of the core exposed between the fusible conductive wire are covered by the plastic material and the interstices defined between the wound fusible conductive wire and the surface of the core are substantially filled with the plastic material.
