Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An electrical fuse device for a motor vehicle comprising;
a housing;
a first connection lug routed into the housing;
a second connection lug routed into the housing, wherein the connection lugs are spaced from each other in the housing by a gap, wherein the gap spans between two end faces, respectively at an end of one of the connection lugs, facing one another;
a connecting element electrically connecting the first and the second connection lug in the housing in a closed position, wherein the connection element is in mechanical contact with the first and second connection lugs respectively at a contact surface, wherein the end faces respectively form one of the contact surfaces; and
an actuator arranged in the housing, moving the connecting element from the closed position to an open position, wherein in the open position the first connection lug and second connection lug are electrically insulated from one another,
wherein the connecting element is arranged in the gap between the two connection lugs and is pressed in an interference fit between the first and the second connection lug, wherein
at least one of the connection lugs and/or the connecting element is metallically coated at least in a region of at least one of the contact surfaces and
the metallic coating is formed from a softer material than a remainder of the connection lug, and consequently a plastic deformation of the at least one of the contact surfaces takes place when at least one of the connection lugs is pressed to the connecting element.
