A fuse resistor includes a substrate, an insulation layer, a fuse element, a protection layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The insulation layer covers a surface of the substrate. The fuse element is disposed on a portion of the insulation layer. The fuse element includes a first electrode portion, a melting portion, and a second electrode portion, in which the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion are respectively connected to two opposite ends of the melting portion. The protection layer covers the fuse element and the insulation layer, in which the protection layer has a concave located on the melting portion. The first electrode is electrically connected to the first electrode portion. The second electrode is electrically connected to the second electrode portion.

An airtight surface mount fuse with a cavity has a housing, a conductive fuse, a cover and an encapsulant. The housing has an opening and an airtight inner space. The fusible element has a part disposed inside of the airtight inner space and another part exposed from the opening. The cover is configured to fit into the opening. The encapsulant encapsulates the housing, the cover and a segment of the exposing part of the fusible element. The other segment of the fusible element is exposed from the encapsulant. The inner space of the housing is encapsulated by the encapsulant and becomes airtight. The fusible element is disposed inside of the airtight inner space to prevent the hazard occurring from arc spark interacting with flammable gases when a fusible body of the fusible element is fused. It also ensures the fusible body is affected by the external environment.

Shock resistant mounting structures for fuze systems. The shock resistant mounting structures may comprise: a shock resistant fuze cap and a shock resistant collar. The shock resistant fuze cap may comprise a circular cap housing and a plurality of cripple studs disposed within the circular cap housing. The circular cap housing may be adapted to engage an upper portion of a fuze and may be adapted to snugly fit within a fuze well. The shock resistant collar may comprise a ring-shaped housing and one or more cripple studs radially disposed within the ring-shaped housing. The ring-shaped housing may have a center opening adapted to engage a fuze body. When installed, the shock resistant fuze cap and shock resistant collar may be disposed within the fuze well and may minimize, prevent, or divert shock loading energy from entering a fuze.

The invention relates to a conducting track fuse (1) for an electrical or electronic device, comprising: a first and a second connection region (2a, 2b); a nonlinearly extending burn-out region (3), which is arranged between the first and second connection regions (2a, 2b); and a covering element (15), which has at least two side walls (9) and a covering face (8), which covering element is arranged over the first and second connection regions (2a, 2b) and over the burn-out region (3), the burn-out region (3) and the covering element (5) being arranged relative to each other in such a way that the area of the covering face (8) covers the burn-out region (3) and a cavity (7) is formed between the burn-out region (3) and the covering face (8) as a result of the height of the side walls (9).

A surface mount fuse has a housing, a conductive fuse and a cover. The housing has an opening and a non-airtight interior space. The conductive fuse is disposed inside the non-airtight interior space. The cover covers the opening. Because the interior space of the housing is a non-airtight interior space and the conductive fuse is disposed inside the non-airtight interior space. The conductive fuse is not encapsulated by the materials with low thermal conductivity to avoid heat accumulation, so the conductive fuse may avoid the aging. Further, the internal atmospheric pressure and the external atmospheric pressure of the housing may be balanced. Therefore, the conductive fuse is not suffered from the pressure caused by the pressure difference between internal and external of the housing so that the reliability of the surface mount fuse is enhanced.
