A fuse () is proposed for interrupting a voltage and/or current-carrying conductor () in case of a thermal fault, having a conductor bar () ensuring an electrically conductive connection of the voltage and/or current-carrying conductor during correct operation, said fuse () being characterized in that the conductor bar () melts upon an increase in temperature above the melting point, and the electrically conductive connection of the voltage and/or current-carrying conductor is interrupted due to inherent surface tension. Also proposed is a method for producing the fuse () according to the invention.

Fuse for interrupting a voltage and/or current-carrying conductor in case of a thermal fault and method for producing the fuse

The invention relates to a thermal fuse in a circuit structure, particularly a punched grid, having a plurality of circuit areas, having the circuit structure with connections sites () and having a fusible element (), which is electrically and mechanically connected to the connection sites () of the circuit structure, a material of the fusible element () having a melting point, in order to melt at an ambient temperature greater than the melting point, such that material of the fusible element () collects at the connection sites () and the electrical connection formed by the fusible element () breaks.

A holographic sensor for recognizing moisture on a glass pane of a motor vehicle is provided, having a casing, a carrier layer, a diffractive element and an adhesive layer, the diffractive element being fixed, preferably glued, on the carrier layer. The diffractive element may be embodied as an embossed hologram.
