Abstract
A microfuse (10) with a ceramic chip (12), thick film pads (14), fusible wire (16), attached to pads (14) without solder or flux, ceramic coating (18) and plastic body (20). External lead (24) configuration can be axial, radial or surface mount. The method of manufacturing the fuse (10) is improved by utilizing a wire bonding technique in order to improve the quality of the manufacturing process and increase the reliability in performance of the fuse and reduce manufacturing cost.
