Protective Device, In Particular For The Control Electronics Of A Motor Vehicle Component

A protective device for control electronics of a motor vehicle component, such as a radiator fan drive, has a thermal protection element between the control electronics and a connecting lead frame. The thermal protection element trips when the temperature in the control electronics rises above a threshold temperature value. The thermal protection element has two conductor segments with conductor ends facing each other and forming an interruption point and one connecting end each. The interruption point is bridged by a fluxing agent, the fusion temperature of which is matched to the threshold temperature value. One of the connecting ends of the thermal protection element is connected to a contact of the connecting lead frame and the other connecting end is connected to a contact of the control electronics. 本发明涉及种保护装置，特别是机动车辆部件的控制电子器件，其具有布置在该控制电子器件(2)与连接引线架(3)之间的区域中的热保护元件(1)，在该控制电子器件(2)中的温度高于温度阈值时，所述热保护元件跳闸。该热保护元件(1)包括两个导体段(9、10)，这些导体段具有彼此面对并且形成中断点(11)的导体端(9a、10a)，并且这些导体段各自具有连接端(9a、10b)，其中该中断点(11)通过助熔剂(12)来桥接，该
