A bus bar formed using a metal plate is provided. The metal plate includes one or more holes extending through the metal plate on a bend line. The bus bar includes a folded part formed by bending the metal plate along the bend line through hemming. The folded part includes a first region and a second region. The first region is located between an outer edge of the metal plate and the bend line. The second region overlaps in close contact with the first region. The bus bar also includes a terminal arranged in the first region. The folded part includes one or more welds in which the first region and the second region are welded to each other.

Bus bar and method for producing same

Provided herein is a fuse that includes a conductive member, two shielding portions arranged on the conductive member, and a case. The conductive member includes a two bars on each end of the conductive member and an element (e.g., melting portion) that integrally connects the two bars. The two shielding members are disk shaped and are situated on the conductive member between the element and the two bars. The case encloses the element and the two shielding members.

Fuse

A press-fit terminal includes: through-hole contact portions provided at intermediate portions in a terminal protruding direction, both ends of the through-hole contact portions in a widthwise direction being pressed against an inner peripheral surface of a through-hole; distal end side wide portions and proximal end side wide portions provided on both sides of the through-hole contact portions in the terminal protruding direction, and protruding toward both sides in the widthwise direction so as to position a substrate on both sides of the substrate in a thickness direction; width varying portions whose width gradually reduces from the distal end side wide portions toward a distal end side in the terminal protruding direction; a longitudinal perforated hole provided to extend over these portions; and a distal end connecting portion integrally connecting the width varying portions separated by the perforated hole, at a distal end side in the terminal protruding direction.
