GENERAL
Our Thermal Cut-Offs (Organic Thermal Element Type) are used to prevent fires caused by abnormal heat generation from circuits and other heat producing electrical products. They are a non-resettable thermal fuse which open electrical contacts when temperatures exceed the specified level.
APPLICATIONS
• Electric home appliances and heating devices
• Coil-winding products and power supplies
• Office equipment and telecommunication devices
• Automobiles & other electronic components
CAUTIONS
• Bends in leads should be at least 3mm from the body of the TCO.
• Extreme caution must be used while soldering, use a heatsink and avoid heating above Tf -24°C.
• The metal portion of the TCO is electrically live and may require insulation.
• Do not use in liquids or poisonous gasses such as sulfuric acid or nitrous oxide.
• Do not connect heater directly to the cutoff.
