Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a fuse of the type having blade contacts. The fuse comprises a housing of an electrically insulating material and a fuse element disposed within the housing. The fuse element comprises two spaced metallic blade terminals having ends projecting beyond the housing and a metallic link strip interconnecting the two blade terminals. The link strip extends virtually freely in a space within the housing and is designed to fuse if current of an intensity exceeding a permissible value is passed through it for a certain time. According to the invention, means are provided for preventing sagging of the link strip upon heating such as would prevent it from operating properly.
