ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaking element comprising an electrically insulating base member, an organic insulation layer having a low melting point and formed over the surface of the base member, and a metal resistance coating layer formed over the surface of the insulation layer. When the metal resistance coating layer is thermally broken by excessive current passing therethrough, the coating layer completely separates into two portions at opposite sides of the break to completely break a circuit.
