Abstract
A voltage distribution device for use especially in motor vehicles, includes a first area ( ) made of conductive material and fitted with at least one electrical connection ( ), at least two separate second areas ( ) made of conductive material and fitted with at least one electrical connection each ( ), and bridge-like fuse areas ( ) made of conductive material, which each link the second areas ( ) with the first ( ) and are inseparably connected to the first and associated second area. The bridge-like fuse areas ( ) each have a cross-section of material calibrated along a longitudinal section according to material thickness and/or depth. In another embodiment of the invention, in a voltage distribution device for use especially in motor vehicles, a first area ( ) made of conductive material and with at least one electrical connection ( ), and at least two second areas ( B) made of conductive material and with at least one electrical connection each ( ), are linked by bridge-like fuse areas made of conductive material ( ), whereby these fuses ( ) are inseparably connected to the first area ( ) by deep-draw sleeves ( ).
