Abstract
A fuse including a fuse body, a fusible element disposed within the fuse body providing an electrically conductive pathway extending between a first end of the fuse body and a second end of the fuse body, and a heat shield disposed within the fuse body intermediate an interior surface of the fuse body and an exterior surface of the fuse body for mitigating heat flow therebetween.
Claims17
A fuse comprising:
- a fuse body;
- a fusible element disposed within the fuse body providing an electrically conductive pathway extending between a first end of the fuse body and a second end of the fuse body;
- and
- a heat shield disposed within the fuse body intermediate an interior surface of the fuse body and an exterior surface of the fuse body for mitigating heat flow therebetween, wherein a radially outermost surface of the heat shield is located nearer the interior surface of the fuse body than the exterior surface of the fuse body.
