Abstract (en)

[origin: US4768978A] A fuse element with an essentially prismatic or cylindrical casing contains two electrical contacts that are accessible from the outside, that are situated on at least one exterior side of the casing and are electrically connected with a fuse arrangement inside the casing. In the casing an encoding arrangement is provided in which the electrical tripping characteristics of the fuse arrangement are encoded. To ensure a sufficient encoding variety with miniaturized design versions, even at higher manufacturers' tolerances, the encoding arrangement is formed by at least one appendage that is laterally or radially protruding from the casing in relation to the longitudinal axis of the casing and in whose configuration the tripping characteristics of the fuse arrangement are encoded.
