The following definitions apply to our range of Elcut thermal fuses:
Opening Temperature / Cut-off Temperature
The temperature at which the thermal fuse opens (fuses off) while passing 0.1 amp or less in a controlled oil bath at arise of 1 C per minute. The functioning temperature is not the Rated Functioning Temperature.
Rated Functioning Temperature (Tf)
Rating of the functioning temperature based on safety standards. Tolerance of rated functioning temperature is +0, -10 C for IEC 60691. Tolerance for METI is ±7 C except some types.
Holding Temperature (Th)
The highest temperature of the thermal fuse at which it does not open the circuit while passing rated current for 168 hours. (Applicable to UL, cUL and CCC).
Maximum Temperature Limit (Tm)
The highest temperature of the thermal fuse at which continuity does not occur for 10 minutes after the function of the thermal fuse.
Maximum Use Temperature
The highest temperature of the thermal fuse at which it does not function or the functioning temperature does not become higher remarkably after being exposed for a certain amount of time.
Rated Current (Ir)
The allowable maximum current which the thermal fuse is able to carry.
Rated Voltage (Ur or Vr)
The allowable maximum voltage which can be applied to the thermal fuse.
