(57) To realize a protection member that makes a flux amount applied on a fusible conductor
uniform, and improves variation of fusing characteristics because, when a projection
portion of a cover member is arranged alone on the fusible conductor, the projection
portion is not sufficient to hold flux on the fusible conductor, and the variation
is caused in the fusing characteristics. The protection member includes an insulating
substrate (11), a heating body (14), an insulating member (15), two electrodes (12),
a heating body internal electrode (16), a fusible conductor (13) layered from the
heating body internal electrode (16) to the two electrodes (12), and configured to
fuse a current path between the two electrodes (12) by heating, flux (17) applied
on the fusible conductor (13) to superimpose with the heating body (14), and a cover
member (1) covering at least the fusible conductor (13) and attached to the insulating
substrate (11). The cover member (1) further includes a plurality of cylindrical projection
portions (2) facing the heating body (14) and formed on an inner surface (1a) of the
cover member (1) to be in contact with the flux (17).
