250V Thermal Fuse

Description

– A 250V thermal fuse is a safety device designed to protect electrical equipment from overheating.
– It acts as a one-time-use, non-resettable fuse that opens the circuit when the surrounding temperature reaches a specific threshold, preventing potential fire hazards.
– These fuses are typically used in a variety of applications, including household appliances and industrial equipment, to safeguard against thermal damage caused by overloads or overcharges.

Key Features:
Rated Voltage:
250V, indicating the maximum voltage the fuse can safely handle.
Operating Temperature:
The temperature at which the fuse will open the circuit, usually marked on the fuse itself (e.g., 133°C, 240°C).
Current Rating:
The maximum current the fuse can carry before it opens the circuit.
Construction:
Often a small, sealed unit with metal or ceramic casing containing a fusible alloy that melts at the rated temperature.
Applications: Commonly found in household appliances like hair dryers, ovens, and transformers, as well as in industrial equipment and power supplies.
