Abstract
The body of the disclosed fuse includes connective portions having surface-metalization to which corresponding connective portions of the fusible element are respectively bonded. A metalization-conducive ceramic may be more-specifically utilized for the fuse body, while those portions of the body which interface with the fusible element may additionally be contoured so as to lessen the severity of element-severance forces otherwise experienced. When the fuse's connective portions yet-more-specifically comprise the opposite ends of a fuse body which is elongated, end caps may be electrically joined to the surface-metalized fuse ends. An enhanced degree of mechanical stability may also be achieved by further providing stabilizing geometrical expedients for the fuse/cap interface.
