Abstract
A fuse 1 includes a pair of terminals 2, housing 4 and fusible body 5. The terminals 2 are provided so that their one ends are housed in the housing 4 and their other ends are exposed externally from the housing 4. The terminals 2 each has a recess to enlarge the interval therebetween. The recess 6 consists of a flat face 10 and step face 11. The housing 4 includes a pair of end walls 12a, 12b, and a pair of partition walls 22. The inner faces 15a, 15b of the pair of end walls 12a, 12b are opposite to each other in a direction orthogonal to the direction the pair of terminals are arranged in parallel and extend along the end faces of the terminals 2. The partition wall extend from the inner face 15b toward the inner face 15a. The second partition walls each covers the flat face 10. In this configuration, when the power with a current value which exceeds the fusing current value of the fusible body is supplied, supply of the power to the load can be surely stopped.
