Patent attributes
A fusible link adapted to be connected to a battery terminal and a compact and thin battery fuse unit that contains the fusible link and battery terminal. The link, formed by punching out an electrically conductive metallic plate, includes an input side connecting-section, an output side connecting-section, a fusible section having a narrow width and provided between the input and output side connecting-sections, and a resin section enclosing the fusible section. Coupling portions between the fusible section and the input and output side connecting-sections are molded in the resin section. The input and output side connecting-sections are arranged on the angled positions with respect to the fusible section. The fusible link and a battery terminal connected to the input side connecting-section of the fusible link are contained in a casing so that arc portions of the battery terminal are exposed from the casing. The arc portions engage a battery post.
