Abstract
A current control device includes an input terminal, an output terminal, a fuse, and a variable resistor unit. The input terminal is configured to be connected to a power source. The output terminal is configured to be connected to a load. The fuse is connected in an electric path electrically connecting the input terminal to the output terminal. The variable resistor unit is electrically connected in the electric path and between the fuse and the input terminal. The variable resistor unit has a resistance value configured to increase in response to an increase of a current flowing through the electric path.
