A fuse including a fuse housing having first and second electrical terminals, a movable partition made from an electrically conductive material movably disposed within the fuse housing, a fusible structure connected between the first electrical terminal and the movable partition, a conductor connected between the movable partition and the second electrical terminal, a biasing element acting on the movable partition to maintain the fusible structure in tension and for moving the movable partition upon melting of the fusible structure and an indicator connected between the movable partition and the second electrical terminal. The conductor, the movable partition and the fusible structure define an electrical path between the first and second electrical terminals and the indicator protrudes out of the second electrical terminal of the fuse housing upon melting of the fusible structure for providing visual indication of an interrupted condition of the fuse when subjected to a threshold current flowing therethrough.
