A thermal fuse is a one-time, non-resettable component that offers overheating temperature protection in small devices and electric heaters. Thermal fuses operate when other safety factors do not operate well. It controls temperature increases to a high level and prevents devices from being damaged. It also provides one-time-use protection that is not repairable. It needed to be replaced when…
