The fusable link goes if the current running through it is too high.

Stuff often melts because of a loose connection, loose connection means
higher resistance, higher resistance means voltage dropped at the loose
connection, voltage drop at the loose connection means heat!

Roughly (yep, roughly... don't flame me about obscure points of physics
please!):

         power=current squared * resistance.

         So, when the resistance goes up at a weak connection, power (heat)
is dissipated at the connection, causing melted insulation.

End of theory discussion for the day!
