Thermal Cutoffs A one time safety device that opens the electrical circuit when a defined temperature is reached. It provides reliable overheat protection for a wide range of devices and applications. Key benefits Prevents overheating and reduces the risk of fire and equipment damage Simple, compact protection that integrates into existing designs Fast, predictable trip at the selected temperature point Non resettable by design; after a trip, the unit must be replaced Durable construction with a robust metal housing and reliable fusible core Suitable for many low to medium current circuits in appliances and electronics Attributes to consider Temperature rating options: choose the trip point that matches your device requirements Size and form factor: compact profile designed to fit within confined housings Material: durable metal housing with internal fusible alloy for consistent performance Connection: standard lead lengths and compatible terminations for easy integration Installability: designed for straightforward mounting and secure electrical connections Applications and compatibility Designed for use in household appliances, electronics, and systems that include heating elements or motors Suitable for environments where reliable overheat protection is required and space is limited Can be selected to match specific device designs, ensuring proper protection without impacting performance Performance and reliability precision trip points and stable operation across typical ambient conditions Consistent protection across repeated heating cycles when properly selected and installed Longterm reliability when stored and used within rated specifications Common uses In kitchen appliances such as toasters and coffee makers to stop heating if temperature exceeds safe levels In power tools, hair dryers, soldering irons, and hot plates to prevent overheating In battery packs, DC power supplies, and electronic heating elements to interrupt current at elevated temperatures Note This is a non resettable thermal cutoff designed for onetime protection; after a trip, the unit and inspect the device for the cause of overheating Selection of the correct temperature rating, lead length, and mounting method is essential for reliable protection
