Fuse Installation Notes:

These notes are intended to be used to reduce the risk of malfunction of the thermal cutoff which may result from importer installation during forming of leads, splicing, welding and soldering

1. BENDING LEADS

The Fuse leads must be supported 1/8’’ from bend and case; And 1/8’’from bend and epoxy

2. MECHANICAL FORCES DURING APPLIANCE CONNECTION

a. When installing the Fuse, avoid unnecessary bending. twisting, pulling and pushing on the Fuse leads

b. Excessive clamping may cause denting or crushing of the Fuse body, which may cause failure

c. Note that the Fuse body is electrically live and must be insulated before applying a metal clamp over the Fuse body

3. SPLICES AND TERMIMATIONS

The connections must be electrically sound to prevent high resistance and secure enough to withstand the rated cutoff temperature.

4. SOLDERING LEADS

The fuse leads require heat sinking during soldering operations.

5. WELDING LEADS

To avoid welding internal parts, care should be taken that none of the welding current is conducted through the Fuse

6. EXAMINATION FOR DAMAGE

During prototype development .an examination for damage of the Fuse should be done after the device-to-appliance connections are made, X-raying before and after the assembly operation and close visual inspection with special attention made at the epoxy, should be performed

Thermal Cut-offs are a non-repairable item and that, in case of replacement, an equivalent thermal-link from the same manufacture and having the same catalog number should be used, mounted in exactly the same way.

always suggests and encourages customers to test samples of these devices to determine suitability within each appliance. Designers should be understand that overtemperture protection can be affected by installation and/or improper TCO location
