A dike as an epoxy squeeze out barrier in a fuse device is provided. The fuse device can include first and second layers of laminate material, a cavity formed by central openings of the first and second layers of the laminate material, a fuse element that is supported by at least one of the first and second layers of the laminate material and traverses the cavity, an adhesive located on at least one of the first and second layers of the laminate material for bonding thereof, and a dike located on at least one of the first and second layers of the laminate material and surrounding a circumference of the cavity. When the first and second layers of the laminate material, the fuse element, the adhesive, and the dike are pressed together during manufacture, the dike can prevent the adhesive from flowing into the cavity.

A fuse device is provided that can include a rectangular fuse and a round fuse socket cap that can include a rectangular receptacle for receiving the fuse. The fuse socket cap and the fuse can be free of red phosphorous, and the rectangular receptacle can consume a percentage of a surface area or a volume of the fuse socket cap below a predetermined threshold that prevents reduction of a breaking capacity of the round fuse socket cap.

This protection element is equipped with: a fuse element which conducts electricity in a first direction from a first end section toward a second end section; a shield member; and a case, the interior of which is provided with a storage section for storing the fuse element and the shield member. The shield member has a plate-shaped part which is positioned in a manner such that a first surface thereof faces the fuse element and a second surface thereof contacts a rotating shaft which extends in a second direction which intersects the first direction. The surface area of the plate-shaped part when viewed from the fuse element is configured in a manner such that a first surface area and a second surface area, which are obtained by dividing at the contact location between the plate-shaped part and the rotating shaft, differ from one another.

A jump stud assembly including a housing, electrically conductive first and second studs extending through a floor of the housing into a compartment defined by the housing, and a fuse module including a mounting block having a through-hole extending therethrough, a fuse plate having an upper portion on a top of the mounting block and having a through-hole aligned with the through-hole of the mounting block, a lower portion on a bottom of the mounting block and having a through-hole aligned with the through-hole of the mounting block, and a fusible element adjacent a sidewall of the mounting block connecting the upper portion of the fuse plate to the lower portion of the fuse plate, wherein the fuse module is mounted on a portion of the first stud outside the compartment with the upper portion of the fuse plate in electrical communication with the first stud.
