ATC Semitec’s PEPI H-8 high temperature fuses can be supplied with calibrations from 250°C to 280°C.
Above 200°C, conventional thermal fuses are relatively unreliable, especially if the working temperature is close to the fuse operating temperature.
Above 240°C, they are unavailable. ATC Semitec claims it has a solution in the use of its PEPI H-8 high temperature thermal fuse.
Using unique bimetal technology, the PEPI H-8 one-shot thermal cut-off can be supplied with calibrations from 250°C to 280°C and works up to 20K below its opening temperature without detrimentally affecting the fuse life.
Once the PEPI H-8 has tripped it will not reset again even in ambients as low as -35°C.
The H-8 has a switching capacity of 10A/250VAC (or 15A/125VAC) and provides the ultimate in over-temperature protection for home appliances and industrial products.
It is approved by C-UL and TüV and is available with a variety of terminal options to suit specific applications.
Features overview:
- Snap action devices; quick make/quick break switching action.
- Single Operation type devices. Reset temperature is less than -35°C. This prevents the thermostat from resetting under normal operating conditions.
- Unique positioning of the bi-metallic element allows for excellent heat transfer for improved reaction time.
- Available with exposed bi-metallic elements for even faster thermal response.
- Ceramic case isolates devices from the electrical circuit and is suitable for use in high temperature applications.
- Can be moounted directly on a heated surface.
- Preset calibration temperature, not adjustable in the field.
- Opposite end termination allows for flexibility of installation.
- Factory installed lead.
