Embodiments disclose a plug-in fuse element comprising a strip-shaped sheet metal part having a first end section, a second end section, and an interposed center section, wherein the first end section is a flat plug-in contact; the second end section is a connecting region configured to connect to a stranded conductor, and the center section is an overcurrent protection device. In some embodiments, a stranded conductor is connected on at least one end to a connecting region of at least one plug-in fuse element. In some embodiments, a wiring system includes at least one stranded conductor connected via a flat plug-in contact of a plug-in fuse element to a flat conductor. In some embodiments, a vehicle comprises the at least one wiring system.

A fuse device comprises a fuse element. A first enclosure encloses a first internal volume in which a middle portion of the fuse is located, while end portions of the fuse element project from base portions of the first enclosure. A first base portion is shaped for retaining extinguishing material within the first internal volume, and a second base portion has a fill opening for the introduction of extinguishing material. A second enclosure has a third base portion, with an assembly opening for the introduction of the side walls of the first enclosure in a second internal volume to the second enclosure, and a fourth base portion configured to occlude the fill opening of the second base portion.

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.

Fuse, including at least one fuse blade, formed in a sheet having two opposite main faces extending along a longitudinal axis of the fuse blade, each fuse blade comprising a portion having a reduced section defining a plane transverse to the fuse blade. The fuse also includes arc guards made of a preformed elastic material and associated in pairs, the arc guards of the same pair being each located opposite one another on a respective main face of the same fuse blade. For at least a first pair of arc guards, a layer of adhesive is interposed between the fuse blade and an internal face of each arc guard of this pair, the internal face being oriented towards one of the main faces of the fuse blade, so as to fix each arc guard on the fuse blade.
