          Application 08/267,433                                                      


          a nonelected invention.  An amendment after final rejection                 
          was filed on May 20, 1996 but was denied entry by the                       
          examiner.                                                                   
          The disclosed invention pertains to a surface mounting                      
          type electronic component.  More particularly, an electronic                
          element and a safety fuse wire are connected together and                   
          enclosed within a resin package.  One end of the safety fuse                
          wire is exposed at a face of the resin package and is covered               
          by a layer-like terminal in electrical connection with the                  
          exposed end of the fuse wire.                                               
          Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                            
               1.  A surface mounting type electronic component                       
          comprising:                                                                 
               an electronic element;                                                 
               a safety fuse wire having one end electrically connected               
          to the electronic element; and                                              
               a resin package enclosing the electronic element together              
          with the fuse wire;                                                         
               wherein the other end of the fuse wire is exposed at a                 
          face of the resin package, said face of the resin package                   
          together with the exposed end of the fuse wire being covered                
          by a layer-like terminal in electrical connection with the                  
          exposed end of the fuse wire.                                               
          The examiner relies on the following references:                            

                                          2
