Abstract
A fuse component (1) has a fuse element (2). The fuse element (2) is located inside an isolating body (3) and the fuse element (2) extends between the two end faces of the isolating body (3). Each of the end faces of the isolating body (3) are closed by electrical conductive end caps (4) and the end caps (4) are in electrical contact with the fuse element (2). The isolating body (3) includes at least two shells (5a, 5b); at least in the region of the end caps (4), and the shells (5a, 5b) in the assembled state form a channel (6) to receive the fuse element (2).

1-19. (canceled)
A fuse component comprising:
- a fuse element;
- an insulating body, wherein the fuse element is located inside the insulating body and the fuse element extends between two end faces of the insulating body;
- the end faces of the insulating body are each closed with electrically conducting end caps and the end caps are in electrical contact with the fuse element,
- the insulating body at least in a region of the end caps comprises two shells and the shells form a channel in an assembled state, the channel receiving the fuse element;
- the channel runs parallel to a longitudinal axis of the insulating body;
- the shells in the assembled state are fixed by at least one step axially with respect to one another;
- wherein each shell has a substantially L-shaped cross-section transverse to the longitudinal axis;
- wherein a lug provided on one shell engages a recess provided on the other shell, and wherein the recess comprises a groove extending along a portion of a circumference transversely to the longitudinal axis of the fuse component on end regions of the half shells.
