Abstract

In order to safely protect high over current flowing into the main circuit at short-circuit without any explosion or fire, the enclosed cartridge fuse with a high interrupting capacity should be applied. But this fuse is impossible to be applied to an inner electronic circuit because of a limited space problem result from the miniaturization trend of products. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a sub-miniature fuse with a relatively small size. However the semi-enclosed fuse which is more free for an influx of air than the enclosed cartridge fuse and is possible to protect fuse elements with chemical and physical combination can be adoptable. But it has a limit of implementing the characteristic of a high breaking capacity. For these reasons, the Fe-42wt%Ni fuse elements alloy and fuse-link with less space were designed to increase a breaking capacity of sub-miniature fuse and its safety for fire and explosion was confirmed in this paper.

네트워크 기반의 휴대용 전자 제품의 시장 성장으로 전기기기들은 더욱 소형화 되고 있는 추세이고 내부 부품간의 거리가 가까워져 회로 단락의 위험이 높아지고 있다. 회로의 단락 상황에서 유입되는 높은 과전류로 부터 폭발이나 화재 없이 전자기기를 안전하게 보호하기 위해서는 차단용량이 높은 밀폐형 카트리지 퓨즈를 적용해야 하지만 제품의 소형화 추세에 따른 공간의 문제로 해당 퓨즈의 적용이 불가능한 실정이다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 화학적 결합으로 퓨즈 가용체를 보호하는 밀폐형 퓨즈보다 공기의 유입이 자유로울 뿐만 아니라 물리적 결합으로 퓨즈링크를 보호하는 반밀폐형 초소형 퓨즈가 적용되는 것이 적합하지만 높은 차단용량 특성을 구현하는데 한계가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 상대적으로 공간을 적게 차지하면서 높은 차단용량을 갖는 반밀폐형 초소형 퓨즈를 위한 퓨즈 가용체 합금과 퓨즈링크의 설계 기술을 통하여 회로의 단락 상황에서 안전성을 확보하였다.
