1. An on-vehicle control device used in an on-vehicle system including a power source unit, a power path to which power based on the power source unit is supplied, a relay provided in the power path, and a block unit provided in the power path, the on-vehicle control device comprising:
a control unit that switches the block unit to a blocking state, wherein
the control unit prioritizes blocking by the relay in a state where a value of current flowing through the power path is smaller than a threshold and prioritizes blocking by the block unit in a state where the value of the current flowing through the power path is larger than the threshold, and wherein the control unit switches the block unit to the blocking state on a basis of a first blocking characteristic,
the relay is turned off on a basis of a second blocking characteristic,
the first blocking characteristic and the second blocking characteristic are characteristics defining a correspondence relationship between a current value and a time until blocking,
in the second blocking characteristic, the time decreases with a first degree of decrease as the current value increases,
in the first blocking characteristic, the time decreases with a second degree of decrease in a first current value range as the current value increases, and the time decreases with a third degree of decrease in a second current value range which is larger than an upper limit value of the first current value range as the current value increases,
the second degree of decrease and the third degree of decrease are larger than the first degree of decrease,
the third degree of decrease is smaller than the second degree of decrease, and
the time is set to be longer in the first blocking characteristic than in the second blocking characteristic for the current value smaller than the threshold set between a lower limit value of the first current value range and an upper limit value of the second current value range, and
the time is set to be shorter in the first blocking characteristic than in the second blocking characteristic for the current value larger than the threshold.
