Abstract

A surface mount current fuse of the present invention includes a first base which has a recess and is smaller in width at the other end than at one end in the longitudinal direction, and a second base which has the same shape as the first base. The first base and the second base are combined to form a box-shaped body by joining the lower surface of the second base to the upper surface of the upper surface of the first base in such a manner that one end of the first base and the other end of the second base are in contact with each other. The recess of the first base and the recess of the second base form a space portion in which to dispose an element portion. The borderline between the first base and the second base passes through the center point on a side surface of the body. As a result, the surface mount current fuse has high production efficiency.
