摘要

advanced leading edge disconnect sensor, and method of manufacturing an advanced leading edge disconnect sensor. an advanced leading edge disconnect sensor includes a base. the first and second arms are spaced from each other and are operationally supported by the base. at least one of the first and second arms has an end mounted on the base and rotates with respect to it in a pivot between connection and disconnection conditions. a mechanical connection includes a first and second connection portions respectively attached to the first and second arms. the link interconnects the first and second arms and includes a weakened area providing a frangible connection in the connection condition and is configured to break in the frangible connection in the disconnect condition. a fuse includes first and second fuse portions operably mounted on the first and second arms. the fuse is interconnected between the first and second arms providing continuity in the connected condition, and continuity is broken between the first and second portions in the disconnected condition.
