Abstract
Separating walls are formed between adjacent grooves on the surface of a base. Circuits including fusible strips are mounted in the grooves. Thereafter, the separating walls are crushed so that they overlie the strips, retain them in the grooves, and protect them against foreign particles. Thus, if such a particle manages to impact a strip, no short-circuit will result, even if the strip should begin to peel.
