A circuit protection device is configured to protect circuit elements under any one of the following three activation conditions: an over current condition, an over temperature condition, and an activation control current received by a heater element. The circuit element includes first and second electrodes, and the heater element. A sliding contact is connected by a sensing element to the first electrode, second electrode, and heater element, thereby bridging and providing a conductive path between each. A spring element is held in tension by, and exerts a force against, the sliding contact. Upon detection of any one of three activation conditions, the sensing element releases the sliding contact and the force exerted by the spring element moves the sliding contact to another location on the substrate at which the sliding contact no longer provides a conductive path between the first electrode, second electrode, and heater element. |
