Disclosed are various protection devices and associated methods. In some embodiments, a protection device may include a substrate and a fusible element coupled to the substrate, wherein the fusible element may include a first end opposite a second end, and wherein the first and second ends wrap around the substrate. The fusible element may further include a central section comprising a plurality of segments connected end-to-end in a continuous arrangement between the first and second ends, wherein a first set of segments of the plurality of segments extends along a first plane, and wherein a second set of segments of the plurality of segments extends along a second plane, different than the first plane.

A thermal cutoff at least includes a current-carrying fusible element (104, 204, 312, 404, 504, 604) having two ends connected to a first electrode (107, 207, 308, 408, 508, 607) and a second electrode (108, 208, 309, 409, 509, 608), respectively. The current-carrying fusible element is provided in a closed cavity bounded by a housing (101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601) having an opening at one end, a cover plate (102, 202, 302, 402, 502, 602), and a sealant (103, 203, 304, 403, 503, 603). The thermal cutoff further includes a first lead wire (109, 209, 310, 412, 512, 609) and a second lead wire (110, 210, 311, 413, 513, 610) each wrapped by an insulating sheath. One end of the first lead wire and one end of the second lead wire are electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode, respectively. The sealant is filled in the opening of the housing, at least covers an electrical joint between the first lead wire and a first electrode plate and an end of the first lead wire, and also covers an electrical joint between a second electrode plate and the second lead wire and an end of the second lead wire. The thermal cutoff exhibits excellent sealing protection performance, and is thus applicable to corresponding scenarios.

A connecting element for a secondary battery is installed on a path of current flowing through a secondary battery to electrically connect components and includes a first metal plate having a first protrusion formed to protrude at one side end thereof from the center portion of the thickness direction thereof, a second metal plate located spaced apart from the first metal plate with a gap being formed therebetween and having a second protrusion formed to protrude at one side end thereof from the center portion of the thickness direction thereof and face the first protrusion, and an alloy bridge made of alloy material having a melting point lower than those of the first metal plate and the second metal plate and formed to fill the gap. The connecting element may ensure the safety of the secondary battery in use, minimize the increase of resistance caused by applying the connecting element, and be rapidly broken even though the connecting element is applied as a part with a relatively great thickness.

The invention relates to a thermal safety device intended to be fixed to a substrate (2) having a strip fuse (20) comprising a metal strip provided with a first contact zone (23) electrically connected to a first contact pad (8) on the substrate (2) and also provided with at least one other contact zone (22) that can be soldered to another pad (7) on the substrate (2), said strip fuse (20) also including a lever (30) having a free end (36) not connected to the metal strip. According to the invention, the lever (30) generates a rocking moment on the soldered contact zone (22) about at least one pivoting point lying between the two contact zones (22, 23) when the end (36) of the lever (30) is pressed.
