However, among the above safety measures, the specifications of the protection circuit differ depending on the type of battery, and it is necessary to design a dedicated circuit for each type of IC element, for example. In addition, mounting electronic components such as IC elements and FET elements has increased the cost of the entire battery pack including those components. Furthermore, there is an attempt to use only a PTC element and a fuse without using a protection circuit (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-349480). However, in practice, the operating area of the PTC element may overlap the operating area of the fuse. Difficult and unreliable. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a low-cost and safe small battery pack.

The fuse was connected in series with a DC power supply and an electronic load, and a current was applied for 1 second at each current value. The current value at which the fuse was blown was examined while increasing the current value by 1 A by changing the electronic load. When the fuse was blown, all smoke was confirmed. Using the width W of the fuse as a parameter, the relationship between the fusing current value and the length L was plotted on a graph. Thickness t = 35

As shown in the figure, the longer the length L, the closer the fusing current value becomes to a constant value, and the smaller the thickness t and the width W, the smaller the degree of change per unit length. Therefore,
Obviously, if the total thickness and the total width are the same as compared with the case where the fuse is composed of one linear pattern, the variation will be smaller if the fuse is composed of a plurality of linear patterns.

The current value differs by 3% or more between mm and L = 6 mm. As a result, by connecting two wires of W = 0.15 mm in parallel, the pattern length dependency of the current value is improved by 3% or more as compared with that of a single wire of W = 0.30 mm.
