A fuse assembly includes a housing and a wound wire operable as a fusible element. The housing has a cavity for the fusible element. The fusible element is formed by coating a wire with enamel and wrapping the wire around a core to produce enamel-coated wound wire. The enamel-coated wound wire is attached to the housing. The core is etched away until the core is dissolved and the enamel is stripped away.

Fuse assembly using coated wound wire and sacrificial core

A method of assembly of an open-cavity, wire-in-air fuse which provides improved manufacturing yield and fuse reliability, involving coiling, braiding or twisting a fusible element around a sacrificial member during the manufacturing process to provide support for the fusible element to prevent mechanical breakages and necking problems commonly encountered during manufacture.
