Abstract
The device comprises a busbar (1') connected, on the one hand, to the source of electrical energy and, on the other hand, to a plurality of electrical contacts (3'i) each forming part of one of the circuits. According to the invention, several self-resettable fuses (5'i) for protecting said circuits are soldered to said busbar (1'), these fuses each consisting of a layer of a dispersion of an electrically conductive particulate material in a polymer, said layer being laminated between first and second, plane and parallel, electrodes electrically connected to the busbar (1') and to said electrical contacts (3'i) of an associated circuit, respectively.
