A device and a method for interrupting the continuity of a conductor and linking a pair of conductors are disclosed. The device is a three-terminal fuse having first and second terminals initially connected by a conductor and a third terminal separated from the conductor at a breakpoint of the conductor by an insulator. By applying a voltage across the third terminal or control terminal and the conductor, a transient conductive link is formed between the conductor and the control terminal. If sufficient current is provided through the transient link, heating of the link causes the metal of the conductor to melt and boil away, thus interrupting the continuity of the conductor.
