Definition of Terms
q
Rated Functioning Temperature
Rated functioning temperature is the operating temperature of the thermal cutoff, measured using the method
specified in the safety standard. In Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law of Japan, case operation
should be within the specified operating temperature range of
±
7 ˚C. In standards that comply with the IEC
standard (such as UL, CSA, VDE, BEAB), it is called the rated functioning temperature, and should operate
within the prescribed temperature range of +0/–10 ˚C.
It is represented by the symbol T
F
in the UL standard, and by the symbol Tf in the CSA, VDE and BEAB
standards.
In SEFUSE, a temperature that complies with both standards is set as the rated functioning temperature, and
is indicated on the body of the thermal cutoff.
q
Operating Temperature
Operating temperature is the operating temperature range when the thermal cutoff is made to operate inside
a constant temperature oven whose temperature is raised at the rate of 1 ˚C/min. while a detection current of
100 mA or lower is applied.
The operating temperature is a standard set by NEC and is not specified by a safety standard.
q
T
H
, Th. Tc (Holding Temperature)
Holding temperature is the maximum temperature at which, when applying a rated current to the thermal
cutoff, the state of conductivity is not changed during 168 hours.
It is represented by the symbol T
H
in the UL standard, Th in the CSA standard, and Tc in the VDE and BEAB
standards.
q
T
M
, Tm (Maximum Temperature Limit)
Maximum temperature limit is the maximum temperature for which conductivity does not occur again after
thermal cutoffs operation.
It is represented by the symbol T
M
in the UL standard and by Tm in the CSA, VDE and BEAB standards.
q
Rated Current
Maximum alternating current that can pass through the thermal cutoff and that the thermal cutoffs can cut off
the circuit in safety and reliability.
q
Rated Voltage
Maximum circuit voltage that the thermal cutoffs can cut off the circuit in safety and reliability.

Cautions
This section describes cautions designed to protect the performance of the thermal cutoff, Be sure to read and
fully understand these cautions.
To obtain full performance from the thermal cutoff, it is necessary for the customer to appropriately store
the thermal cutoff, design appropriate circuits for the application, and perform evaluations, mounting and
testing as necessary. Problems arising from the inappropriate execution of the above are the responsibility
of the customer, and NEC declines any and all responsibility.
Design Cautions
q
Do not use this device for any purpose other than as a thermal cutoff.
The thermal cutoff is designed to detect abnormal rises in temperature and break circuits if needed. It is not
a current fuse that cuts excess current. If used as a current fuse, the SEFUSE may malfunction.
q
Do not use this device in aerospace equipment, aeronautical equipment, nuclear reactor control systems, Iife
support equipment or systems, transportation machinery engine control or safety-related equipment.
This device is designed for use in household electric appliance, office automation equipment, audio and video
equipment, computer and communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, personal electronic
equipment and transportation equipment (excluding engine control).
q
The customer should select the proper thermal cutoff device, mounting location, and mounting method as
appropriate for each application.
Verify whether the chosen selections are appropriate by repeatedly testing the final design for thermal cutoff
under normal conditions as well as under predicted maximum abnormal conditions.
q
Make designs so that the temperature of the body of the thermal cutoff does not exceed the temperatures
shown in Table 1.
If, these temperatures are exceeded on a regular basis, the thermal cutoff may start operating only at tem-
peratures lower than the normal operating temperature. Malfunctions may also occur. Even if the thermal
cutoff's operating temperature is exceeded, it may malfunction.

∗1)
:
The temperature does not means ambient temperature but surface temperature on
thermal cutoff.
∗2)
:
When a large current flows through a thermal cutoff, temperature difference occurs
between the case and the lead. Therefore, it is recommended to measure some points
on the thermal cutoff, and make design so that the highest temperature does not exceed
the temperature shown in Table 1.
