Thermodisc MICROTEMP G5 Thermal Fuse, Axial Leaded, 16A, 104ºC

The Thermodisc MICROTEMP G5 series thermal fuse is a compact, globally recognised thermal cut-off that provides an accurate and reliable upper limit temperature protection against overheating. Designed to interrupt an electrical circuit when operating temperatures exceed its rated temperature, it safeguards equipment from potential damage. This G5 series is specifically engineered for higher voltage and current applications, making it a robust choice for demanding environments.

With approvals from major global agencies including UL/CSA, VDE, CCC, METI, and BEAB, this fuse is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its construction is optimised for interrupting higher currents and withstanding elevated temperatures, featuring a current interrupt capacity of up to 20A at 250V AC. It operates on a one-shot principle, permanently cutting off electrical power once its functioning temperature is reached.
