A complex type fusible link which includes an insulative block base including a plurality of cavities; a conductive connecting plate which is integrally embedded in the insulative block base, a part of the conductive connecting plate being exposed to at least one of the cavities; a plurality of fusible elements each of which is accommodated in corresponding one of the cavities and includes a first end which is connected to the part of the conductive connecting plate and a second end; and a plurality of terminals each of which is integrally embedded in the insulative block base and includes a first end which is connected to the second end of corresponding one of the fusible elements and a second end which is exposed from the insulative block base, at least one of the fusible elements includes a fastening portion to which another fusible element is fastened.

Complex type fusible link, fuse box, and manufacturing method thereof

A manufacturing method of a complex type fusible link. The manufacturing method includes hollowing out a metal plate into a link-like conductor including a connecting plate and a terminal, cutting out the link-like conductor so as to separate the connecting plate and the terminal, forming, by insert molding, a block base including a cavity after setting the connecting plate and the terminal in a mold, and directly connecting a fusible element to an exposed portion of the connecting plate and an exposed portion of the terminal.

Method of manufacturing a complex fusible link

The present invention provides a complex type fusible link which includes an insulative block base including a plurality of cavities; a conductive connecting plate which is integrally embedded in the insulative block base, a part of the conductive connecting plate being exposed to at least one of the cavities; a plurality of fusible elements each of which is accommodated in corresponding one of the cavities and includes a first end which is connected to the part of the conductive connecting plate and a second end; and a plurality of terminals each of which is integrally embedded in the insulative block base and includes a first end which is connected to the second end of corresponding one of the fusible elements and a second end which is exposed from the insulative block base.

A fuse block is provided. The fuse block includes a fuse box and a plurality of fusible links. The fuse box includes a bottom wall; a plurality of side walls, each side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall to define a continuous recess space; and a plurality of guide ribs formed along the side walls and extending in a guide direction which is perpendicular to the bottom wall. The plurality of fusible links are insertable into the continuous recess space, and each fusible link includes a housing, and a plurality of chases formed in the housing and extending in the guide direction. A position of each of the guide ribs within the fuse box corresponds to a position of one of the chases of the fusible links.
