A fuse mounting structure and a batter system are provided according to the present application, the fuse mounting structure is used for mounting a fuse to a battery box, and includes a drawer and a fuse base; where the fuse base is mounted in the battery box, and the drawer is used for mounting the fuse; the drawer is provided with a guide device in a sliding fit with the fuse base, so as to guide the drawer to be inserted into the fuse base. According to the fuse mounting structure, the guide device is arranged on the drawer, the guide device guides the drawer with fuse when the drawer enters the fuse base, there is no need to align the plug-in holes, which realizes blind insertion of fuses and reduces the workload of fuse insertion.

A fuse assembly includes a fuse element, a first terminal, a second terminal, a socket, and a capsule. The fuse element is disposed between first and second end bells. The first terminal includes a first bell portion, a first socket portion, and a first capsule portion, the first bell portion being connected to the first end bell. The second terminal includes a second bell portion, a second socket portion, and a second capsule portion, the second bell portion being connected to the second end bell. The first socket portion and the second socket portion are integrated through the socket. The first capsule portion and the second capsule portion are integrated through the capsule. The socket is seated atop the capsule to create an interior chamber inside which the fuse element is disposed.

In example implementations, a printhead die is provided. The printhead die includes a substrate, a chamber layer formed on the substrate, a plurality of printing fluid ejection chambers coupled to opposite sides of the chamber layer and along a length of the chamber layer, and a top hat layer formed on the chamber layer and the plurality of printing fluid ejection chambers. The chamber layer includes a void to store printing fluid. The top hat layer includes an initial unsupported top hat layer portion over the void, wherein the initial unsupported top hat layer portion comprises a first end that is narrower than a second end.

A lightning protection spark gap assembly comprises: a lighting protection spark gap having a first main connection and a second main connection, wherein a first voltage line of a supply network is connectable to the first main connection and a second voltage line of the supply network is connectable to the second main connection; a safety fuse device which is triggerable and which is connectable between the first or second voltage line and the corresponding main connection of the lightning protection spark gap, wherein at least one current path leading via the lighting protection spark gap is formable between the first voltage line and the second voltage line during operation; an indicator device for detecting a current flow in the current path or a corresponding portion of the current flow in the current path and for mechanically or electrically delayed triggering of the safety fuse device.

A direct current electric circuit interrupting switch assembly is disclosed that comprises a pyroswitch assembly, which comprises at least two pyroswitches, which are connected in parallel with each other and are each per se integrated in its respective electrically conductive branch together forming a second branch of the primary electric conductor the switch assembly, with a first, preceding pyroswitch and a second, subsequent, or last pyroswitch. Each of said pyroswitches comprises an interrupting member, by means of which each circuit with each of the pyroswitches is either connected during normal operation or is interrupted by displacing each corresponding interrupting member into another position, when a pre-determined condition is met.

A battery system is described with methods and systems for thermally isolating a battery module experiencing thermal runaway. In one embodiment, a thermal actuator can cut a busbar coupling neighboring battery modules together, thereby preventing or slowing the spread of thermal runaway. In other embodiments, a fusible material can joint portions of a busbar. High temperatures can cause the fusible material to melt off of the busbar portions and thereby break the thermal or electrical conductivity between busbar portions and neighboring modules.

A fuse includes a housing. A bus bar extends through the housing. An arc interrupter positioned inside the housing. A biasing element is compressed between the housing and the arc interrupter to bias the arc interrupter toward the bus bar to separate two portions of the bus bar during circuit interruption to mitigate arcing from one portion of the bus bar to the other portion of the bus bar. The bus bar includes a pocket defined therein wherein the bus bar is of a first material, and wherein a second material is seated within the pocket. In another aspect, a fuse includes a fuse housing and a bus bar extending through the housing. The bus bar includes a pocket defined therein. The bus bar is of a first material, wherein a second material is seated within the pocket.
