Abstract
The present invention provides a substrate surface-mounted fuse that uses a replacement fuse to enable an electric circuit to be electrically connected simply and immediately even when a fuse part melts. A substrate surface-mounted fuse 100 mounted on the surface of a substrate 300 comprises: a housing 110; a fuse part 120 that is disposed in the housing 110; and a terminal part 130 that is coupled to both ends of the fuse part 120 and exposed to the outside of the housing 110, wherein a portion of the terminal part 130 is provided with a fixed section 134 for fixing to the surface of the substrate 300 and is provided with an attachment part 140 enabling attachment of a terminal part 230 of a replacement fuse 200.
Claims20
A substrate surface-mounted fuse, comprising:
- a housing;
- a fuse part disposed in the housing, the fuse part having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a terminal part coupled to the first end and the second end of the fuse part and exposed to the outside of the housing,
- wherein a portion of the terminal part comprises a fixed section coupled to the surface of the substrate and an attachment part configured to be attached to a terminal part of a replacement fuse.
A fuse assembly configured to be mounted to a surface of a substrate, the fuse assembly comprising:
- a housing having a cavity;
- a fuse disposed in the cavity of the housing, the fuse having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a first fuse terminal assembly having a mount configured to be mounted to a substrate, the first fuse terminal assembly coupled to the first end of the fuse and disposed outside of the housing, the first fuse terminal assembly further comprising an attachment assembly configured to be coupled to a removable replacement fuse;
- and
- a second fuse terminal assembly having a mount configured to be mounted to the substrate, the second fuse terminal assembly coupled to the second end of the fuse and disposed outside of the housing, the second fuse terminal assembly further comprising an attachment assembly configured to be coupled to the removable replacement fuse.
An electric circuit for an automobile, the circuit comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a fuse assembly mounted to a surface of a substrate, the fuse assembly comprising:
- a housing having a cavity;
- a fuse disposed in the cavity of the housing, the fuse having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a first fuse terminal assembly having a mount configured to be mounted to a substrate, the first fuse terminal assembly coupled to the first end of the fuse and disposed outside of the housing, the first fuse terminal assembly further comprising an attachment assembly configured to be coupled to a removable replacement fuse;
- and
- a second fuse terminal assembly having a mount configured to be mounted to the substrate, the second fuse terminal assembly coupled to the second end of the fuse and disposed outside of the housing, the second fuse terminal assembly further comprising an attachment assembly configured to be coupled to the removable replacement fuse.
