ABSTRACT:
A fuseless plug with an overload safety circuit breaker having a thermal reactive spring leaf and an electric conductive sheet. When in normal use, the thermal reactive spring leaf and the electric conductive sheet are electrically connected by contacting mutually. If overloading or short circuiting occurs, the temperature will rise, while the thermal reactive spring leaf made of an alloy of two kinds of metal material has different coefficients of temperature, so that the spring leaf will be bent outwardly to release the electric conductive sheet to form a broken circuit state and to assure that no disaster such as a fire alarm will occur. After clearing, a push button can be pushed down to force the electric conductive sheet into engagement again with the spring leaf for use.
