    Abstract: This protective element includes a fuse element having a first end portion and a second end portion, in which current flows from the first end portion toward the second end portion, a protruding member and a recessed member that are positioned opposing one another so as to sandwich a cutoff portion, and a pressing device that imparts an elastic force that shortens the relative distance in a first direction that represents the direction in which the protruding member and the recessed member sandwich the cutoff portion, wherein at least one pair of opposing surfaces of a protruding portion of the protruding member and a recessed portion of the recessed member that intersect the direction of current flow through the fuse element are positioned close to one another when viewed in a plan view from the first direction, and the fuse element is cut at a temperature equal to or higher than the softening temperature of the material that constitutes the fuse element.

    Abstract: A protective circuit (1A) is provided with: a protective element (10A): a plurality or secondary battery cells (20), (20), . . . ; an external positive electrode terminal (30a) and an external negative electrode terminal (30b); an auxiliary power supply (40); a first controlling dev ice (50): and a switch (60). The protective element (10A) includes: a first fusible conductor (15) of which the two ends are connected to a first terminal (11) and a second terminal (12): and a heat generating body (16) disposed in a first energizing path (P1A) between a third terminal (13) and a fourth terminal (14). The auxiliary power supply (40) is provided electrically independently of the plurality of secondary battery cells (20), (20), . . . . In this protective circuit (1A), a signal from the first controlling device (50) causes the switch (60) to switch in such a way as to conduct electricity, thus causing the heat generating body (16) of the protective element (10A) to generate heat which fuses the first fusible conductor (15), thereby isolating the plurality of secondary battery cells (20), (20), . . . from the external negative electrode terminal (30b).

    Abstract: To achieve a Pb-free protection element, a layered body including a high melting point metal layer and a low melting point metal layer is provided. The protection element includes an insulating substrate, a heating body, an insulating member, two electrodes, a heating body extraction electrode, and a fusible conductor. Furthermore, the fusible conductor includes a layered body including at least a high melting point metal layer and a low melting point metal layer, and the low melting point metal layer is melted by a heat generated by the heating body. While eroding the high melting point metal layer, the low melting point metal layer is drawn close to the side of the two electrodes and the heating body extraction electrode, and fused, the two electrodes and the heating body extraction electrode each having high wettability for the low melting point metal layer.
