What is thermal fuse?

Thermal fuse also known as thermal cutoff, thermal link or TCO, is a single action device that is widely used for electrical equipments against over temperature. Thermal fuse is composed of the fusible alloy with low melting point and special resin, encapsulated in a plastic or ceramic housing. Under normal operating, the fusible alloy is joined by two lead wires within the housing. When the thermal fuse senses an abnormal heat and reach a preset temperature, the fusible alloy melts and disconnects the circuit completely with the aid of the special resin.
