Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0831510A1] The trigger device includes a bimetal blade (10) fixed on a flat support (20) connected to the output terminal of a protection appts. The blade is thin with a rectangular shape and presents an extension (12) connected to a terminal (30). The blade is welded to the support using a laser beam. The terminal presents an ascending branch (32), with its lower extremity connected to a conductor (40), and a descending branch (33) terminated with an extension (36) normal to the branch direction. This shape facilitates a higher temperature gradient between the blade and the terminal.
