117C Thermal Fuse 10A 250V

Thermal fuses are important safety components used to protect electrical circuits in case of overcurrent or overheating conditions. The general product description is as follows:

Thermal fuses interrupt the flow of electric current in a circuit when there is an excessive increase in current or when the circuit overheats. This prevents damage to devices or components in the circuit caused by overcurrent and also prevents the occurrence of fires or other hazardous situations.

These fuses are typically designed in small sizes and in a standard cartridge or tube shape. Their operating principle involves a thermal mechanism using a bimetal disc or a heat-sensitive element to open the circuit in case of overheating or current surge. This safely cuts off the electrical circuit, allowing for the system to operate properly again.

Thermal fuses are commonly used in household appliances, power supplies, industrial equipment, automotive applications, and many other electrical devices due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness.

The features of these fuses may vary according to specific application requirements but generally include characteristics such as nominal current rating, breaking capacity, operating voltage, and operating temperature range.
