ABSTRACT:
A metal chip of low-melting metal having a cavity is fixedly held by an embracing portion of a fusible portion of a fuse of a fusible metal conductor. The metal chip has a predetermined outer diameter, and by changing a diameter of a through hole defining the cavity, the volume of the cavity can be adjusted. By doing so, fusion characteristics of the fusible portion can be adjusted.
