1. Thermal Cutoffs Thermal cutoffs are one time use, temperature sensitive devices that interrupt electrical current when a preset temperature is reached. They provide reliable overheat protection for electrical equipment. Key benefits Improves safety by preventing overheating and reducing fire risk. Helps protect appliances and circuits from heat damage. Allows simple inline installation and retrofit for compatible devices. Supports reliable operation by preventing heat related failures. Key attributes Function: opens the circuit at a defined temperature to stop overheating. Compatibility: designed for inline or lead wire connections; available in multiple sizes, lead lengths, and termination options. Check the specific variant for your device. Size: compact cylindrical metal body with short leads; slim profile for tight spaces. Material: metal body with insulated leads; encapsulation provides protection from contamination. Performance: trip accuracy with fast response; stable operation across typical ambient conditions; one time use. Installation and maintenance notes After activation, the device must be replaced; reset requires a thermal cutoff. Use scenarios In household appliances with heating elements, such as toasters and coffee makers, to prevent overheating. In power supplies, chargers, and battery packs to protect circuitry from excess heat. In small heating tools and care devices to maintain safe operating temperatures. Specifications and exact details Trip temperature, tolerance, lead length, and mounting options vary by model; refer to the specific product variant for exact information.
