An overheating destructive disconnecting method for switch, whereby an operating member applies a first elastic force under normal conditions to enable the movable conductive member contacts a first conductive member and a second conductive member to form a conductive circuit; and a second elastic force to enable the movable conductive member to separate from the first conductive member or the second conductive member. The installation position of the overheating destructive member is used to receive heat energy instead of allowing current to flow thereto. When the overheating destructive member is destructed or deformed under a fail temperature condition, lessening or loss of the force applied by the first elastic force towards the movable conductive member causes the movable conductive member to no longer allow electrical conduction to the first conductive member and the second conductive member, thereby breaking the current-carrying circuit.

The invention relates to an electronic device, in particular a control device, having a housing. The housing has a cavity, in which there is arranged a circuit carrier fitted with electric and/or electronic components, forming an electric and/or electronic circuit. Furthermore, the electronic device has a fuse element making contact with the circuit carrier in order to protect the electric and/or electronic circuit against electrostatic discharges. In addition, the electric and/or electronic circuit comprises a plug contact which has connecting pins, and the connecting pins make contact with the circuit carrier. Here, the at least one connecting pin is formed as the fuse element, in that the at least one connecting pin is connected to a ground line. Furthermore, an extremely small distance of the housing from an electrically conductive region of the electronic and/or electronic circuit is provided at a point of the at least one connecting pin formed as a fuse element, by which means, in the event of an electrostatic discharge, a preferred discharge path is formed between the housing and the ground line.
