AUTOMOTIVE CIRCUIT BREAKER INCLUDING CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH INTEGRATED SECONDARY CURRENT PROTECTION

摘要

Featured is a current interruption device including first and second terminal members, each terminal member having at least first and second through apertures and a terminal portion. The first and second through apertures of each terminal member are arranged spaced from each other and in a predetermined pattern. Also included is a plurality of pin structures, one pin structure for each pair of through apertures, where one pin structure is secured in the first through apertures of the respective first and second terminal members and another pin structure is secured in the second through apertures of the respective first and second terminal members. Such securing results in the first and second terminal members being maintained in fixed relation. Such a device is located within a housing so that the terminal portions extend outwardly from a housing end surface.
