Abstract:
Disclosed herein are efficient mechanical fuse devices that are capable of functioning at high current levels. These devices comprise mechanical features configured such that the fuse devices have a non-triggered state, which allows current to flow through the device, and a triggered state, which does not allow current to flow through the device. In some embodiments, the devices are configured such that a certain pre-determined current level flowing through the device will generate a sufficient electromagnetic field to cause the mechanical elements to transition the fuse device into the triggered state and thus interrupt a connected electrical circuit, device or system. In some embodiments, these devices can also comprise hermetically sealed components. In some embodiments, the fuse devices can comprise pyrotechnic features.

Claim (Index 9):
A fuse device, comprising:\n a housing; internal components, said internal components comprising: fixed contacts electrically isolated from one another, said fixed contacts at least partially surrounded by said housing; one or more moveable contacts, said one or more moveable contacts allowing current flow between said fixed contacts when said one or more moveable contacts are contacting said fixed contacts; an internal pin component connected to said one or more moveable contacts, said internal pin component biased toward a position that moves said one or more moveable contacts out of contact with said fixed contacts; and a pin retention structure configured to hold said internal pin component in place such that said one or more moveable contacts are contacting said fixed contacts; contact structures electrically connected to said internal components for connection to external circuitry; and pyrotechnic features configured such that when a threshold current level passes through said internal components, said pyrotechnic features activate and interact with said pin retention structure, such that said pin retention structure changes configuration, which causes said internal pin component to move according to its bias.
