Electrical fuse

A method of manufacturing an electrical fuse, said method comprising the steps:

• a) providing an electrical conductor element comprising a melting section and further comprising a first extension section and a second extension section both integrally formed with the melting section and extending from both ends of the melting section in the lengthwise direction thereof,
• b) providing an electrically insulating, multi-part housing comprising a first part and a second part,
• c) introducing the electrical conductor element into the multi-part housing such that the melting section is enclosed in an interior space thereof,
• d) slidingly engaging the first and second parts in relation to each other thus covering by the second part an access opening of the first part to the interior space,
• wherein:
• step b) further comprises providing the first part with a first opening and the second part with a second opening opposite to the first opening once the first part and the second part are engaged,
• step c) further comprises introducing the electrical conductor element through said first opening and through said second opening such that said first opening is directly sealingly penetrated by the first extension section and the second opening is directly sealingly penetrated by the second extension section.
