Fusible resistor

①The non recoverable fuse resistor: Fixed resistor effect the normal work of the circuit, when the working current is over the rated current, fuse resistor fuse fuse will be the same as, for the protection of the circuit.
②In the rated current, recoverable fuse resistor fixed resistors function. When the circuit overcurrent occurs, the solder joint recoverable fuse resistor first to melt, the spring type metal wire (or elastic sheet metal) disconnect with the resistor. In troubleshooting circuits, in accordance with the requirements of the resistor and the metal wire (or sheet metal) welding, can be restored to normal use.

Special element has a dual role of resistor and fuse. It says in the circuit with the letter "RF" or "R".
