Silver-coated 1,2,4,5-tetrabromobenzene crystals, a thermosalient compound, are presented as novel electrical fuse materials. These electrically conductive crystals exhibit linear characteristics up to a threshold value where the resistive heating triggers their phase transformation. This causes mechanical motion of the crystals with immediate circuit breakage. The concept described here opens new avenues for next-generation electrical fuses.

金属涂层的热敏晶体作为电熔丝

涂银的1,2,4,5-四溴苯晶体是一种热盐化合物，被认为是新型的电熔丝材料。这些导电晶体表现出线性特征，直到阈值，电阻加热触发它们的相变。这会导致晶体的机械运动，并立即导致电路损坏。这里描述的概念为下一代电熔丝开辟了新途径。
