Abstract
To obtain a stable adhesion between a fused portion of a fuse terminal and a low fusing point metal, the low fusing point metal is clad or welded by an electron beam to the fused portion of the fuse terminal. To manufacture the fuse terminal at low cost, the low fusing point metal is first clad or welded to the middle portion of a fusible conductor sheet material; the sheet material is punched into a development shape of the fuse terminal with the low fusing point material located at the fused portion; the punched sheet metal is bent into a fuse terminal shape before cut away from the sheet material.
