As
shown in figure 5, Therm-ODisc MICROTEMP® TCOs follow a consistent
product nomenclature which identifies the basic product type, lead
wire size, special features and packaging options. For example,
a standard G4 Series TCO calibrated to open at 192*C would have
a part number G4A00192C. Figure 6 shows the product markings on
MICROTEMP® TCOs.
Direct
Current (DC) Applications
MICROTEMP® thermal
cutoffs do not have published electrical ratings for direct current
(DC) applications. Current interruption capacity is reduced in DC
circuits and is highly application sensitive. Therm-O-Disc recommends
thorough testing of DC electrical applications using the testing
guidelines in Therm-O-Discs MICROTEMP®Thermal Cutoff Technical
Bulletin.
Lead Configurations
The MICROTEMP®
TCO can be furnished with virtually any lead configuration you specify
for your application. Lead curls are available to match most sizes
of screws along with varying lead lengths and lead forms. All types
of terminations, such as quick connects, ring terminals and blade
terminals, are available at little additional cost. Aso, tape
and reel packaging can be specified to meet your high volume requirements.
A sampling of the many types of configurations possible are shown
in figure 7.
