Embodiments of the fuse include a fuse body having a first end and a second end. A fuse element is disposed within a cavity of the fuse body, an end of the fuse element extending beyond an edge of the fuse body. An arc disc is disposed on the edge of the fuse body, and includes a notch such that the end of the fuse element extends to an outer surface of the arc disc. The end of the fuse element is configured to be folded over the outer surface of the arc disc. An end cap is disposed over the end of the fuse body and the arc disc, and the end cap includes a hole at a top surface. Solder deposited within the hole provides an electrical connection between the arc disc, the fuse element, and the end cap.

A fusible link (11) includes a fuse element (13) provided with a fusible conductor part (25) which has a melting part (31) provided between parallel inner side edges (21) of a first terminal part (17) and a second planar terminal part (19). The fusible link (11) also includes an insulative housing (15), having a melting part accommodating space (35) to accommodate the melting part (31) therein, which is mounted to a front surface side of the fuse element (13) to cover the inner side edges (21) of the first planar terminal part (17) and the second planar terminal part (19) and the fusible conductor part (25).

A self-powered wireless fuse switch is disclosed that is a plug-in replacement for a fuse found in the electrical system of vehicles. The self-powered wireless fuse adds remote-controlled switching capabilities for short and long-range control of power to subsystems of a vehicle electrical system. The wireless fuse switch includes a wireless control module having an internal power supply and an internal transceiver that receives commands from a remote control unit. A separate fuse module includes an outer housing and fuse blades that extend from the outer housing and interface with a fuse socket of the vehicle to selectively allow or interrupt power from the vehicle to the subsystem of the vehicle electrical system. The fuse module includes a fusible link, a relay controller and a relay in the outer housing. The fuse module receives power from and communicates with the wireless control module.

Provided is a branch system which includes a power connector attachable to a power supply line; and a branch connector attachable to a branch wire and connectable to the power connector in an attachable and detachable manner, in which the branch connector includes a glass tube fuse, and a first holding portion; the first holding portion is configured to hold the glass tube fuse in an attachable and detachable manner or in a fixed state; and the power supply line and the branch wire are configured to establish an electrical connection through a fusing portion of the glass tube fuse held by the first holding portion upon the branch connector being connected to the power connector.

A power fuse with zinc-aluminum terminals is provided. The power fuse includes a housing having a first end and a second end. Coupled to the housing at the first end is a first terminal assembly fabricated from a zinc-aluminum alloy, and coupled to the housing at the second end is a second terminal assembly also fabricated from the zinc-aluminum alloy. The first and second terminal assemblies include a copper plating entirely covering an exterior of the zinc-aluminum alloy. A fuse element assembly is positioned inside the housing and is electrically connected between the first terminal assembly and the second terminal assembly.
