Nineteen Thermal Cutoffs (also known as Thermal Fuses) NTE8242 are now included in the NTE product line. They are miniature, NONRESETTABLE temperature sensitive devices designed to prevent appliances and electronic equipment from overheating.
NTE thermal cutoffs NTE8242 are UL and CSA listed.
Literally thousands of different applications have been devised for thermalcutoffs, thus providing a large placement market. Such applications of NTE8242 include:
• Hair Dryers • Refrigerators • Battery Chargers
• Irons • Hot Plates • Glue Guns
• Electric Motors • Window Fans • Coffee Makers
• Microwave Ovens • Popcorn Poppers • Dishwashers
• And hundreds of others
The TCO (Thermal CutOff) NTE8242 responds to temperature by interrupting an electrical circuit when the operating and/or environmental temperature exceeds the thermal rating of the device. This NTE8242 is accomplished when the internal organic pellet experiences a phase change, allowing the spring activated contacts to permanently open the circuit.
