  • Publication number: 20040057225
    Abstract: A fuse includes a fuse element contained in an insulating housing made of synthetic resin. The insulating housing which includes a pair of housing bodies and an upper wall portion mutually connecting upper ends of the housing bodies is adapted to cover inner edges and upper edges of flat plate terminal portions and a fusible portion. On one side edge of a slit opening formed at a lower end of the insulating housing, a flap is continuously provided through a thin-walled hinge so as to freely rotate. The flap is rotated to a closed position in a state where the fuse element has been inserted into the insulating housing, and locked to locking projections which are projected from the inner edges of the respective flat plate terminal portions. The distal end edge of the flap which is abutted against the other side edge of the slit opening is joined by ultrasonic welding, thermal welding or the like.
