Abstract

A segmented metallized film having a dielectric film, a metallized layer, and at least one fuse disposed within each segment of a plurality of segments along a center margin of the metallized layer. The metallized layer is on a portion of the dielectric film such that the dielectric film has a metallized edge, an unmetallized edge, and an uncoated area between the metallized layer and the unmetallized edge. The center margin is substantially parallel to the machine direction of the film. The center margin is disposed in the metallized layer approximately equidistant to the metallized edge and to the unmetallized edge. The metallized layer has a plurality of transverse margins running from the center margin to the uncoated area. The center margin and the plurality of transverse margins define the plurality of segments.
