Therefore, the invention of the present application provides a fuse in which a position and a posture of a fuse element are easily stabilized and which is easily assembled, and a method for manufacturing the fuse. A fuse including a fuse element having a fusing portion; and a casing accommodating the fusing portion; where the fuse element has a long shape extending in a longitudinal direction of the casing and at least two or more fuse elements are provided; the fuse element has one end portion side coupled to each other by a coupling portion; a first holding portion that holds the fuse element is provided in one opening of the casing; and a locking portion that locks the coupling portion of the fuse element is provided in the first holding portion.

An electrical connection box includes a substrate on which a fuse element including terminals is mounted, and a case member in which the substrate is housed. Through holes pass through the substrate in the thickness direction, the terminals of the fuse element are inserted into the through holes on one surface side of the substrate and protrude from the other surface side, and the protruding portions of the terminals are in contact with the case member.

A thermal cutoff at least includes a current-carrying fusible element having two ends connected to a first electrode and a second electrode. The current-carrying fusible element is provided in a closed cavity bounded by a housing having an opening at one end, a cover plate, and a sealant. The thermal cutoff further includes a first lead wire and a second lead wire each wrapped by an insulating sheath. One end of the first lead wire and one end of the second lead wire are electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode. The sealant is filled in the opening of the housing, covers an electrical joint between the first lead wire and a first electrode plate and an end of the first lead wire, and also covers an electrical joint between a second electrode plate and the second lead wire and an end of the second lead wire.

The present invention provides a fuse that has a stable fusing characteristic and is easily manufactured.

A fuse 600 includes: a fuse element 100 that is provided between a pair of terminal parts 110 and has a plurality of fuse parts 120; and a casing 200 for housing the fuse parts 120, wherein the fuse element 100 includes a first flat surface 140 and a second flat surface 150 which are shaped bent along a longitudinal direction P of the fuse element 100 and which extend in a linear manner along the longitudinal direction P, wherein the first flat surface 140 and the second flat surface 150 are provided with the plurality of fuse parts 120, and wherein the first flat surface 140 and the second flat surface 150 are contiguous to one other via a bent section 131.
