Fuse unit and method of manufacturing fuse unit
First Claim
1. A fuse unit comprising:
- an electrically conductive fuse element including at least one fusible portion;
a hinge portion provided at said electrically conductive fuse element so that said electrically conductive fuse element is separated into a first fuse element and a second fuse element by said hinge portion and is bendable from said hinge portion;
a first resin body provided at said first fuse element; and
a second resin body provided at said second fuse element.

Abstract
An electrically conductive fuse element including fusible portions has a hinge portion provided at a middle portion thereof. A resin body is divided into resin body parts so that the resin body parts are provided around the fuse element in such a way as to be separated by the hinge portion. One of the resin body parts is bent from the hinge portion. The fuse element has abutting faces, against which the resin body parts are abutted in a bent state, and engaging means for the resin body parts. A connector housing is provided on the resin body part. Further, a terminal is provided at one of plate portions of the fuse element. Power supply connecting portions and terminal connecting portions are provided in the other plate portion connected to the plate portion through the hinge portion.
