A fuse 1 includes a pair of terminals 2, housing 4 and a fusible body 5. The one ends 3a of the terminals are housed in a housing chamber 20 of the housing 4. The housing 4 has a first inner wall 12a, a second inner wall 12b, a first partition wall 21 and second partition walls 22. The end face 8 of the one end 3a of each of the terminals 2 is located apart from the inner face 12a of the first end wall 21. The fusible body 5 couples the terminals with each other. Both ends of the fusible body 5 are mechanically connected to the end faces 8. The first partition wall 21 extends from the inner face 15a of the first end wall 12a toward the inner face 15b of the second inner wall 12b. The second partition walls 22 extend from the inner face 15b of the second inner wall 12b toward the inner face 15a of the first inner wall 12a. In accordance with the fuse having this configuration, when the fuse is supplied with supplied with power with a current exceeding a prescribed value the fusible body fuses, supply of the power to a load can be surely stopped.
