Fusible links and process for producing same

A non-creeping, break-away fuse consisting of a pair of substantially flat, thin cross-section internested rectangular plates which are constructed to be complementarily interfitted, one within the other, and each including a marginal flange extending around at least two of the opposite edges thereof, and when in internested relation are confronting one with respect to the other, a triangular indentation one along each of the opposite two edges of said flanges which are interfitted and caused to ride one against the other to force said links perpendicularly apart when either of said links is moved longitudinally relatively to the other against the connection whose strength is solely dependent upon the solder connection, a non-tucked solder coating which fuses the confronting surfaces of said edges and the flat surfaces of said links together and is adapted to sudden non-creeping release of such connection at a predetermined temperature.
