Thermal Fuse Link

Thermal Fuse Links are a type of fuse used in electrical and electronic equipment components. They are part of the supply class Fuses, Arrestors, Absorbers, and Protectors, which falls under the supply group Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.

Thermal Fuse Links are designed to protect electrical circuits from overheating. They consist of a small piece of metal or alloy that melts when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold. When the fuse link melts, it breaks the circuit and prevents further current flow, thus protecting the equipment from damage.

These fuses are commonly used in appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and heating systems, where overheating can pose a significant risk. They are also used in electronic devices to protect sensitive components from excessive heat.

Thermal Fuse Links are typically one-time use fuses, meaning they need to be replaced once they have melted. They are available in various current ratings and temperature thresholds to suit different applications.

Overall, Thermal Fuse Links play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical and electronic equipment by preventing overheating and potential damage.
