Thermal Cutoffs A temperature activated switch that opens the circuit when a preset temperature is reached, providing essential overheat protection for electrical equipment. Key benefits - Enhances safety by reducing the risk of overheating and fire. - Protects critical components and extends equipment life by stopping excess heat. - Simple to integrate: compact form factor with leads and straightforward mounting for common wiring. - Reliable performance with quick, predictable cut-off at the setpoint and minimal drift across typical operating conditions. - Durable construction designed for electrical insulation and long service life in demanding environments. Function, compatibility, size, material, and performance - Function: opens the circuit at the designated temperature to prevent damage. - Compatibility: suitable for use in a wide range of devices and assemblies that require thermal protection. - Size: compact form factor fits in tight spaces. - Material: built for durable insulation and thermal stability. - Performance: accurate and repeatable cut-off within the intended temperature range. Use scenarios - In a compact household appliance such as a kettle or iron to shut off if overheating occurs. - In a power supply or charger to interrupt current during thermal stress, protecting the circuit. - In heating elements or motor assemblies where overheating could damage components or reduce performance.
