High-Voltage Thermal Fuse

A device for electrical and mechanical connection of a first element and a second element includes first and second connection elements and a connection module. The first connection element includes a first interface configured to be electrically and mechanically connected to the first element. The second connection element includes a second interface configured to be connected electrically and mechanically to the second element. The connection module is configured to provide an electrical and mechanical connection between a first connection region of the first connection element and a second connection region of the second connection element. The connection module is configured to passively open the electrical and mechanical connection between the first connection region of the first connection element and the second connection region of the second connection element in response to a triggering temperature being reached.
