Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a control device suitable for use in a vehicle includes providing a housing, a circuit board, and thermal fuse. A first contact of the fuse is soldered at the circuit board at a first solder joint and a second contact is soldered at the circuit board at a second solder joint. During assembly of the circuit board at the housing, an engaging tab of the thermal fuse engages the housing whereby the housing urges the engaging tab and the first contact of the thermal fuse in a direction away from a surface of the circuit board. When the control device is assembled and in use, and when a temperature exceeds a threshold temperature so that the first solder joint at the first contact sufficiently melts, the first contact moves away from the circuit board to break the electrical connection at the first solder joint.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the engaging tab is at an end of the thermal fuse that is closer to the first contact than the second contact.
