Provided is a chip fuse and a method for producing the same, which is improved to facilitate balanced release of impact and vapor generated upon fusion. The chip fuse includes a fuse body having a pair of facing upper and lower ceramic substrates, a fuse wire support having a vertical through hole in its center and held between the ceramic substrates, and a fuse wire mounted between the two ends of the fuse wire support across the through hole, and a pair of metal caps fitted on the two ends of the fuse body, wherein the upper ceramic substrate and the fuse wire support, and the lower ceramic substrate and the fuse wire support, are respectively adhered together on their mutually facing surfaces to hermetically close the through hole, partially leaving a non-adhered region on the adhered surfaces.

In a fuse unit that includes a bus bar whose bend parts separated from each other are arranged in parallel, and one pair of divided bodies formed by being divided into one side and the other side of the bus bar with the bend parts exposed, and in which the one pair of divided bodies is arranged into an L-letter shape by being bent at the bend parts, a partition wall that is to be arranged between the bend parts in a state of leaving the bend parts bent is provided on one divided body.

A protection element includes: a fuse element configured to be energized in a first direction, which is a direction from a first end portion of the fuse element to a second end portion of the fuse element; a shielding member including a plate-shaped part, configured to rotate around a rotation axis extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein the plate-shaped part viewed from the fuse element is divided to a first portion and a second portion at a contact position between the plate-shaped part and the rotation axis, and an area of the first portion and an area of the second portion are different from each other; and a case having therein a housing portion. Pressure elevation in the housing portion due to an arc discharge causes the shielding member to rotate around the rotation axis and the shielding member divides the housing portion.

Fuse, comprising at least one fuse blade in which is formed a reduced section (46A) defining a plane (P4) transverse to the fuse blade. The fuse also comprises arc guards, which are made of an elastic material and which are associated in pairs, the arc guards of the same pair being each disposed opposite one another on one respective main side of the same fuse blade. Each arc guard comprises an internal face, oriented towards the fuse blade, a front face, oriented towards the reduced section, and a rear face, oriented away from the reduced section. At least one perforation is made in the fuse blade in the vicinity of the reduced section, each perforation being at least partially closed by the internal faces of the two arc guards of the same pair, each perforation leaving a cavity between the two arc guards of the same pair.
