Technical term for a fuse in electrical circuits; a safety device that melts to break the circuit when current is excessive.
When an overcurrent flows, the fuse melts and breaks the circuit.
ヒューズ is the common loanword for 'fuse' in everyday and technical contexts. 可溶片 is a more formal, kanji-based term used mainly in technical documentation or older texts.
Standard kanji spelling for 'fuse' in electrical contexts.
Rare variant using 鎔 (a non-jōyō kanji for melting/metal casting).
Compound of 可溶 (soluble, fusible) and 片 (piece, fragment), literally 'fusible piece'. The variant 可鎔片 uses 鎔 (melting, casting) instead of 溶.
