The invention provides a thermal fuse and a fuse element of the low-melting fusible alloy type in which the fuse element has an alloy composition of 48 to 60% In, 10 to 25% Sn, and the balance Bi, and a total of 0.01 to 7 weight parts of at least one selected from the group consisting of Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, and Pd is added to 100 weight parts of the composition. As a result, the operating temperature is in the range of 57 to 67° C., requests for environment conservation can be satisfied, the diameter of the fuse element can be made very thin or reduced to about 300 mumphi, self-heating can be suppressed, and the thermal stability can be satisfactorily guaranteed.
