I want to add a narrow circuit trace to a PCB design to act as a fuse. It should operate with 1 Amp of current continuously and open if the current exceeds a higher value (2-5 Amp). This project is very cost sensitive and a 15 cent fuse may be too much. I have the guidelines for conductor heating vs cross section, and it appears the conductor would need to be less than 10 mils wide on a 1 Oz copper board. Does anyone have experience with this subject?
