Abstract
A fuse includes an upper shell, a lower shell and a cavity formed by the upper shell and the lower shell; first and second conductors which are respectively disposed between the upper shell and the lower shell. The first ends of each conductors are disposed in the cavity and form a clearance. The second ends of the conductors extend out from the cavity. A conductive bar is welded to the first and second conductors to form a first weld line and a second weld line.
Claims13
A fuse according to the present invention comprising:
- an upper shell, an lower shell;
- and a cavity formed by the upper shell and the lower shell;
- a first conductor and a second conductor, which are respectively disposed between the upper shell and the lower shell, wherein first ends of conductors are disposed in the cavity and form a clearance having a clearance width measured from the first end of the first conductor to the first end of the second conductor, and wherein the second ends of conductors extend to the outside of the cavity along the landscape orientation;
- a conductive bar disposed in the clearance and soldered with the first and second conductors to form respectively a first solder line and a second solder line, the conductive bar having a conductor bar width measured in the same direction as the clearance width, the conductor bar width being less than the clearance width;
- and
- a first elastic element and a second elastic element, each of which is mounted on one of the upper shell and the lower shell, wherein the first elastic element and the second elastic element are connected respectively with first and second ends of the conductive bar to push the conductive bar out of the clearance.
