ABSTRACT:
A fuse (12) for protecting a circuit and comprising a tube (14) of insulating material having an inner wall surface (16) and an outer wall surface (18) so as to form a fuse housing. The fuse includes two opposite axial ends (20) and (22), and a first (24) and a second conductive fuse terminal (26) are secured to the tube adjacent each of those opposite axial ends, respectively. Serially-located elements (28) are disposed within the fuse housing and provide electrical continuity between the first fuse terminal and the second fuse terminal. The elements comprise stressed spring means (30) and resistor means (32), with the spring means having a proximate end (40) secured to the fuse adjacent the first fuse terminal and a distal end (41) secured through a meltable junction (34) to the resistor means.
