Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sicherung (1), insbesondere für die Kraftfahrzeugtechnik, wobei dass eine Sicherungselement (7) mit wenigstens zwei Kontaktelementen (5) verbunden ist und dass die Verbindung so ausgestaltet ist, dass bei Überschreiten einer vorbestimmten Stromstärke der elektrische Kontakt zwischen dem Sicherungselement (7) und den wenigstens zwei Kontaktelementen (5) getrennt wird.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a fuse (1), in particular for motor vehicle technology, wherein a fuse element (7) is connected to at least two contact elements (5) and the connection is designed such that when a predetermined current intensity is exceeded, the electrical contact between the fuse element (7) and the at least two contact elements (5) is separated.
