The present invention relates to a high breaking capacity strip fuse, comprising an insulating housing and a fusing element. The fusing element includes a fusible part, a first connecting terminal and a second connecting terminal which are arranged at two ends of the fusible part and are integrally connected with the fusible part; the fusible part is fixed in the sealed cavity of the housing, and the sealed cavity is filled with insulating material. The present invention provides a fuse filling with insulating material, such as Silicone, quartz sand, resin, ceramic powder/ceramic sand, steatite powder/steatite sand, or saponite powder/saponite granules, in the sealed cavity, to solve the problem of causing the air to ionize and triggering arcing phenomenon of existing fuse during overload.

A novel fuse assembly design utilizes a fuse body, a single-piece terminal assembly and a two-piece endbell. The terminal assembly is disposed within the fuse body and includes first and second opposing surfaces with a fuse element extending between a first terminal and a second terminal. The endbell, to be connected to the fuse body, includes first and second endbell portions. Formed within the first endbell portion is a first receptacle and extending from the first endbell portion is a first protrusion. Formed within the second endbell portion is a second receptacle and extending from the second endbell portion is a second protrusion. When the two endbell portions are fastened to one another with the terminal assembly sandwiched between them, the first protrusion engages the second receptacle and the second protrusion engages the first receptacle.

In a chip fuse, a heat-storing layer is formed on an insulated substrate, a fuse film is formed on the heat-storing layer, and a protective film is formed on the fuse element section. The chip fuse includes surface electrode sections on both ends in the length direction of the chip fuse and a fuse element section between the surface electrode sections. In this chip fuse, a rectangular bank section is formed over the heat-storing layer and the surface electrode sections to surround the fuse element section, and a first protective layer is formed on the inner side of the bank section. In addition, during the bank formation process, a sheet-like photosensitive-group-containing material is laminated on the fuse element section, surface electrode sections, and heat-storing layer, and the sheet-like photosensitive-group-containing material is exposed to ultraviolet light and developed to form the rectangular bank section.

A power fuse includes a housing, first and second conductive terminals extending from the housing, and at least one fatigue resistant fuse element assembly connected between the first and second terminals. The fuse element assembly includes at least a first conductive plate and a second conductive plate respectively connecting the first and second conductive terminals, and a plurality of separately provided wire bonded weak spots interconnecting the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate.

A protective element includes a fuse element, a movable member, a concave member, and a press. The fuse member includes, a first end, a second end, and a cut part positioned between the first end and the second end. The fuse element is energized in a first direction from the first end to the second end. The movable member and the concave member are disposed facing each other such that the cut part is interposed therebetween. The press applies a force to the movable member in a pressing direction in which a distance between the movable member and the concave member shortens. At a temperature at or above a softening temperature of the fuse element, the cut part is cut by the force of the press.

A power fuse for protecting an electrical load subject to transient load current cycling events in a direct current electrical power system is provided. The power fuse includes at least one fuse element assembly that includes one or more substrates, one or more sets of weak spots, and a conductor. The weak spots are formed on the substrates, and the substrates are longitudinally spaced apart from one another along the conductor. The conductor is separately provided from the substrate and the weak spots. The conductor includes one or more strips of metal having no stamped weak spot openings therein and therefore avoiding thermal-mechanical fatigue strain in the conductor when subjected to the transient load current cycling events. The conductor includes connector sections that are attached to respective ones of the sets of weak spots, and extending sections coupling the connector sections.
