ABSTRACT:
An electrical component has a plurality of paired contacts with spaced inner contact sections bridged by a fuse element. The paired contacts have outer contact sections enabling mounting to a circuit panel to complete circuit paths thereon. The component is used as a fuse component to protect the circuit panel by preventing overload of a circuit path by the respective fuse element. When the circuit paths have different design in-service currents and different levels of excessive electrical currents, the corresponding fuse elements can have correspondingly different in-service current-carrying capabilities and different melting points, in the same component. The component can be surface mountable and can have DIP configuration.
