Abstract

An electrical fuse element (1), which comprises a substrate (4) with two contacts (2) arranged on opposite end sides (3), terminal areas (7) connected to the contacts and a fusible conductor (10) electrically connected in a conducting manner to the contacts via the terminal areas, is developed for use in higher voltage ranges, with improved breaking capacity and with low production costs, by the terminal areas (7) and the fusible conductor (10) being arranged separated from one another by an insulator (4) and electrically connected to one another via lead-throughs.
