DEVICE INCLUDING A FUSE

A device including a conductive path for passing electric current. The device including a terminal and a spring fuse. The spring fuse is connected in the conductive path and is electrically connected to the terminal. The spring fuse includes a fixed base, an extension spring connected to the fixed base at a first end, a power path connection connected to the extension spring at a second end, a plurality of fuse pads, and one or more solder joints configured to connect the power path connection to the plurality of fuse pads. The one or more solder joints are configured to melt when a temperature of the one or more solder joints exceeds a threshold value. The power path connection is configured to retract toward the fixed base when the temperature of the one or more solder joints exceeds a threshold value.
