1. A fusible link directly mounted on a battery terminal, the fusible link comprising:
a fuse element integrally formed with a metallic plate; and three resin housings configured to support the fuse element, wherein the fuse element includes:
a battery coupling plate coupled to the battery terminal;a pair of connecting plates configured to extend outward from respective side edges opposing to each other of the battery coupling plate in opposing direction thereof;two external coupling plates configured to each couple to an external circuit and which are disposed on both sides of the battery coupling plate in a separate state from the connecting plates and the battery coupling plate in an area surrounded with the side edges of the battery coupling plate from which the connecting plates extend and the connecting plates; anda fusible part configured to conductively couple the connecting plate to an external coupling plate opposing to each other and which is fused if a current with a value equal to or larger than a rated current value flows, the three resin housings include:
a first housing configured to house therein the battery coupling plate so that the pair of connecting plates externally protrude;a second housing configured to house therein the connecting plate, the fusible part, and the external coupling plate positioned at one side of the first housing, in a state in which a part of the connecting plate is exposed between the second housing and the first housing; anda third housing configured to house therein the connecting plate, the fusible part, and the external coupling plate positioned at another side of the first housing, in a state in which a part of the connecting plate is exposed between the third housing and the first housing, and orientation of the second housing and orientation of the third housing relative to the first housing can be changed by bending the connecting plates exposed among the housings. |
