Abstract

A fuse unit includes a feeding terminal, an energizing terminal and a fusion portion. The feeding terminal is fixed to a battery post to receive power from a battery. The fusion portion electrically connects the feeding terminal and the energizing terminal, and is arranged over the battery post. The feeding terminal is positioned between the energizing terminal and the fusion portion.

Claims

1. A fuse unit, comprising:

a feeding terminal fixed to a battery post to receive power from a battery;

an energizing terminal; and

a fusion portion, electrically connecting the feeding terminal and the energizing terminal, and arranged over the battery post,

wherein the feeding terminal is positioned between the energizing terminal and the fusion portion.

2. The fuse unit according to claim 1, further comprising:

a bus bar having the feeding terminal, the energizing terminal and the fusion portion; and

an insulative portion arranged at a periphery of the bus bar,

wherein a part of the bus bar between the fusion portion and the energizing terminal is formed as a vertical plate part by vertically folded.

3. The fuse unit according to claim 2, wherein

the energizing terminal is horizontally formed by folding a part of the vertical plate part to a side of the feeding terminal.
