Fuse Development Story

In 1960–70, automobiles were equipped with glass tube fuses, which were manufactured
prevailing times through technology by hand at the time. PEC became the first company worldwide to successfully achieve
automated mass production of such fuses in 1971, thus responding to the needs of
and innovative thinking in step with various sectors including the automotive industry. Not long thereafter, in 1975, the
company started production of blade fuses (auto fuses), which have become the most
developments in the automotive industry common type of automotive fuse in use today. Compared with glass tube fuses, blade
fuses have a simpler structure and excel in terms of size (more compact), weight (lighter)
Fuses are an indispensable part of automobiles. and durability. PEC recognized the utility of blade fuses early on and has accumulated
extensive manufacturing expertise for this product. Blade fuses have been successively

Moving into the 1980s, automobiles continued to increasingly incorporate electronics, From the late 1990s, automakers around the world started exploring the production of

with this trend, automobiles started featuring multiple motors. Auto fuses, which blow development of hybrid vehicles, which combined conventional engines with electric

What is a Fuse?
It is said that Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, first put forth the idea of a fuse. Figure 1: Automotive fuse types
Ever since, fuses have been widely used across a wide range of applications to ensure the
BF (Quick blow type)
safety of electric circuits and protect devices.
Electric circuits are connected to various devices through electric wiring and switches that
receive electricity from a power source. Fuses are installed in series with the electric circuit
on the upstream flow of electricity and are designed to immediately interrupt the circuit
when exposed to overcurrent resulting from a short-circuit on the downstream flow. They
are therefore critical components that protect the wiring and devices in an electric circuit
from damage caused by fires and the like.
When exposed to overcurrent, a fuse’s metal element, which is distinguished by a small
cross-sectional area, reaches its melting point and subsequently blows. This effectively SBF (Slow blow type)
Even when confining the discussion to automotive fuses, these can still be divided in a wide
range of types based on usage purpose. (Figure 1)
Among this large variety of automotive fuses, the type that has made most headway with
standardization and is currently employed in vehicles all over the world is the blade fuse
(BF). In recent years, the number of fuses installed per vehicle has increased in tandem with
wider adoption of electric and digital systems in automobiles, an increase in the number of
on-board devices, and a shift to increasingly compact fuses.

to serious accidents. In today’s world, where vehicles have an average service life that
exceeds over 10 years, fuses are required to deliver durability in the form of sustained
functionality amid various changes in environment.
(5) Size and Weight
What is a Fuse?
If we look at automobiles in the context of the CO2 emission regulations specified in the
Kyoto Protocol, we learn that the CO2 emissions generated while driving are substantially
higher than the ones generated when producing the parts, materials and vehicle itself or
when disposing of a vehicle. Accordingly, vehicle weight reduction is an important factor
for the automotive sector, and fuses are also expected to be compact and lightweight
while at the same time guaranteeing performance.

Time-current standard values specify an upper threshold for the melting time to prevent

Time-current characteristics differ by fuse type. For example, motor circuits employ slow

current rush that is produced when a motor starts operating. It is common practice to
use SBFs for circuits using motors of automatic wipers and power windows, and BFs for
applications such as lamps. 100
