The present disclosure includes an insert for a fuse structure. In one approach, a fuse, includes a housing having a cavity, a fuse element disposed within the cavity, a plurality of terminals extending out of the housing and electrically connected to the fuse element, and an insert disposed in the cavity, the insert including a pin extending through an opening of the housing. In some approaches, the insert includes a separating wall defining first and second cavities of the insert.

A fuse system protects an electric fence box from lightning strikes that hit a fence connected to the electric fence box via the fuse system. The fuse system includes at least one fuse connecting an output terminal of the electric fence box to the electric fence and an optional second fuse connecting a ground terminal of the electric fence box to earth ground. Each fuse includes a filament at least 12 inches long inside a non-conductive tube (e.g., Mylar). A first lead connects a first end of the filament to the output terminal of the electric fence box, and a second lead connects a second end of the filament to the electric fence.

A fuse may include a housing having a cavity. The fuse may also include a fuse element disposed within the cavity; a plurality of terminals extending out of the housing and electrically connected to the fuse element; and porous material disposed in the cavity adjacent to the fuse element, the porous material having a plurality of pores, the porous material further comprising an open pore structure wherein at least some of the pores are disposed on an outer surface of the porous material facing the fuse element.

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.

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 fuse includes a circuit layer, a thermal resistance layer, a base layer and a top layer. The circuit layer includes a fuse wire and two inner electrodes. The inner electrodes are separately connected to two ends of the fuse wire. The thermal resistance layer is superposed to the circuit layer and has a thermal resistance room and two first conductors. The first conductors are disposed in the thermal resistance layer. Each first conductor is connected to one of the inner electrodes. The base layer is closely superposed to the thermal resistance layer and has two outer electrodes on the base layer, two second conductors in the base layer and a degassing passage in the base layer correspondingly to the thermal resistance room. The second conductor is connected to the outer electrode and the first connector. The top layer is closely superposed to the circuit layer.

A fusible link unit includes a conductor having a fuse function, and a housing that accommodates the conductor. The conductor includes an input terminal that inputs electric power from a power source, an output terminal that outputs the electric power, a fusing portion disposed on an energization path from the input terminal to the output terminal, and a relief terminal portion capable of connecting a relief tool for supplying the electric power to the power source from outside. The input terminal and the relief terminal portion are provided on a continuous exposed piece of the conductor exposed from the housing.
