Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1517348A1] The fuse element has a fuse conductor (5) attached at opposite ends to a pair of contact posts (1) via a laser welding process, the laser welding beam directed onto an incidence point of the contact post facing the welding point, the contact post having a reduced material thickness in the vicinity of the incidence point and the welding point. The reduced material thickness region (3) extends through only part of the contact post, with an adjacent support region (4) of greater material thickness remaining. An independent claim for a method for manufacture of an electrical fuse element is also included.
