The invention relates to a fusible element provided with a flat insulating body and a pair of contacts which are projected therefrom and whose sections receivable in the reception areas of the insulating body are connected to each other by a fusing conductor wherein at least one reception area and the contact section associated thereto comprise form-fitting connectors corresponding to each other. The inventive fusible element makes it possible to simplify assembling of the individual elements forming it without affecting the quality and without additional costs.
