MICROTEMP® Thermal Cutoffs - Nomenclature

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-Disc’s 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. A’so, 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.
