FUSE LINK SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A fuse link includes a conductive terminal component having a cylindrical insertion region with a knurled region formed therein and a fusible element electrically coupled thereto. A tubular sheath is configured to form a press-fit connection with the knurled region such that the tubular sheath substantially encloses the fusible element. The inner radius, the wall thickness, and the length of the tubular sheath are together configured to remain substantially intact when the fusible link experiences a first overload event within a first range of fault current values and burst when the fusible link experiences an overload event within a second range of fault current values that is greater than the first range.
