Thermal Cutoffs (TCO)
Design and speci cations are each subject to change without notice. Ask factory for the current technical speci cations before purchase and/or use.
Should a safety concern arise regarding this product, please be sure to contact us immediately.
The following are precautions for individual products. Please also refer to the precautions common to EMI Filters,
ESD Suppressors, Fuses, and MR Sensors shown on page EL113 of this catalog.
Design Applications
1. Use the TCO within their specifi ed temperature and electrical ratings.
1) Use the TCO under the maximum operating temperature specifi ed in the individual specifi cation.
Using the TCO under a higher temperature than the maximum operating temperature may cause premature
open ing or opening delay.
When the TCO is continuously used at the temperature close to the functioning temperature, the TCO may
op er ate while being used.
When the TCO is continuously used at the temperature higher than the maximum operation temperature, the
TCO may be degraded and may not operate normally at the specifi ed temperature.
2) The holding temperature is defi ned as the highest temperature at which the TCO is activated continuously at
the rated current for 168 hours. The TCO can not be used over 168 hours exceeding the holding temperature.
3) Equipment should be designed so that its over shoot does not exceed the maximum temperature limit after
the TCO operates.
4) If the TCO is activated by voltage higher than the rated voltage or current higher than the rated current, the
TCO produces excessive heat, resulting in premature opening. The arc generated at this condition of operation
will result in an abnormality of appearance (crack on body) and insuffi cient insulation.
When TCO is operated in an abnormal mode while the rated voltage and/or the rated current being
exceeded, it may not cut off the circuit .
5) Thermal element may be transformed and TCO may open when it is used in the environment from which an
excessive temperature change (such as outdoor) is repeated. Investigate the environment where TCO is used.
6) Where transient overload is expected to be applied, repeat the tests under the worst conditions.
7) The TCO cannot be used as a current sensitive fuse.
2. To fully use the function of the TCO, a suitable TCO for each equipment application must be selected.
1) Tests should be repeated for the fi nished equipment to confi rm that the TCO does operate as expected.
2) To improve thermal response of the TCO, put the main body of the TCO and the lead wires(terminals) as
close to the heat source as possible and the place where the TCO is evenly heated.
If the temperatures transferred to the main body and to the lead wires(terminals) are largely different from
each other, improper operation can be expected, causing arcing and deterioration of insulation.
3. Avoid application of excessive vibration and mechanical stress to the TCO. Otherwise, failure of the fusible
alloy or lead wires, or damage to the main body may result.
4. The following 1) and 2) are precautions for thin type TCO (MP, ML and MU series)
1) TCO body and terminals must be properly fi xed when the TCO is mounted in the equipment. It may cause
breaking of thermal element and/or terminals, or damages of the TCO body, or other failure when the body or
terminals is not properly connected. Avoid a transport under the condition with a connection only a single side
of terminal and the equipment as it might cause breaking of thermal element and/or terminals, or damages of
the TCO body, or other failure due to the vibration or mechanical stress on the transportation.
2) When TCO is mounted in the equipment, terminals must be aligned with the body. If TCO body and terminals
are mutually mounted askew, it might cause breaking of thermal element and/or terminals. Also after assembling
TCO in the equipment, avoid pulling, bending, pushing stress and twisting stress in the TCO body and terminals
in order not to cause breaking of thermal element and/or terminals, or damages of the TCO body.
5. When sealing the TCO with resin, select a resin that does not corrode the seals or the lead wires(terminals).
When sealing the overall TCO with resin, determine the fi xing conditions by repeating the test using your fi nal
product to check whether or not the resin properties (e.g. expansion, contraction, and curing temperature)
affect the TCO and whether or not the TCO can operate normally.
6. When immersing equipment with a TCO in varnish or solvent and then drying it, repeat the test to check whether
or not the varnish or solvent used dissolved the coating of the TCO or caused damage, such as cracks, before
performing the treatment again.
7. Do not use under the following environments.
1) In liquids such as water, oil, chemical and organic solvents
2) In direct sunlight, outdoors or in dusty atmospheres
3) In places where water condensation occurs
Use in the following environments may affect the performance of the TCO; Verify performance and reliability
be fore production use.
(1) In places full of corrosive gases such as sea breeze, Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2 and NO2
(2) In environments with high static electricity and/or strong electromagnetic waves.
8. Do not use the TCO in aerospace equipment, atomic energy equipment, military weap ons, life saving
equip ment, etc.
Instruction
1. Forming and Cutting
1) Lead wires(terminals) are to be bent or cut at least 3 mm away from the TCO seals to avoid damaging the
TCO . (axial / radial type) or body (thin type). The TCO seals (axial / radial type) shall not be grasped with
any tools or holders. Terminals of thin type TCO are to be grasped before they are bent . (See Fig.1)
2) The lead wires and terminals shall not be nicked, fractured or burned.
The body and/or seals must not be damaged, burned or overheated.
3) It is recommended that experimental assembly trials, should be done so that it can be verifi ed that manufacturing
procedures will not exceed the maximum tested "pull" and "push" forces of 20 N (MP and ML series:5 N,
MU series:10 N) and 5 N respectively on the lead wires (terminals), or induce excessive twisting or the like.
4) Do not repeat bending terminals of thin type TCO.

2. Soldering, Welding, Calking
1) Lead wires are to be soldered with the standard conditions shown in Table 1.
Excessive soldering heat and soldering time may cause damage to a TCO.
If higher temperature, longer time or shorter lead length exist rather than the conditions of Table 1 ,it is
recommended to run tests for fi nd ing the soldering conditions that do not damage the TCO. Also, use of
tools such as pliers are recommend ed to dissipate the soldering heat by grasping lead wires between the
TCO body and soldering point.
2) Avoid preheating and gradual cooling as much as possible. However if preheating and gradual cooling is
done, set the process conditions after confi rming that the TCO is not affected by these procedures.
3) Do not use refl ow soldering.
4) Thin type (MP, ML and MU series) is not to be soldered.
5) If water or solvent is used for cleaning fl ux after soldering, check and confi rm the reliability of the agent.
6) Lead wires are to be clamped at least 3 mm away from the seals.
Improper connections may cause damage to the seals or other parts and may result in nuisance tripping of
the devices due to the generation of excessive heat at a faulty high resistance junction.
7) Set the conditions for welding and calking only after checking contact resistance and connection strength.
8) When resoldering or rewelding, cool the TCO under room conditions.
9) When the TCO is heated by soldering or welding, be careful not to pull, push or twist the TCO lead wires.
Ta b le-1 Soldering Conditions
3. The use of suffi ciently fl exible, appropriate free length and proper size wire should be used for splice connection.
Connection including connectors used for splicing shall be of the low resistance type, and they shall be made
mechanically secure.
4. Where the lead wires of the TCO is tied with string, put them at least 10 mm apart from the seals of the main
body of the TCO.
5. Quality control notes.
1) Measurement of resistance between lead wires (terminals) and checking of the internal status with X-rays are
effective means to confi rm the status of the TCO on delivery and after mounting in the equipment.
6. Storage method
1) Store the TCO in packing cases or in polyethylene bags within the temperature range -10 °C to +40 °C and
RH of 30 % to 75 %. Store them at a location where no rapid changes of temperature or humidity or no
direct sunlight is applied. The location must also be free from vibration and shock .
2) Avoid storage in places containing corrosive gases such as sea breeze, Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2 and NO2.
3) The period of guarantee for performance such as solderability is for one year after our delivery; and this
condition applies only in the case where the storage method specifi ed in above has been followed.
7. Do not repair a TCO. Replace it with a new part.

Safety Precautions (Common precautions for EMI Filters, ESD Suppressors, Fuses, and MR Sensors)
When using our products, no matter what sort of equipment they might be used for, be sure to make a written
agreement on the specifi cations with us in advance. The design and specifi cations in this catalog are subject
to change without prior notice.
Do not use the products beyond the specifi cations described in this catalog.
This catalog explains the quality and performance of the products as individual components. Before use, check
and evaluate their operations when installed in your products.
Install the following systems for a failsafe design to ensure safety if these products are to be used in equip ment
where a defect in these products may cause the loss of human life or other signifi cant dam age, such as damage to
vehicles (automobile, train, vessel), traffi c lights, medical equipment, aerospace equipment, electric heating
appliances, combustion/gas equipment, rotating equipment, and disaster/crime prevention equipment.
Systems equipped with a protection circuit and a protection device
Systems equipped with a redundant circuit or other system to prevent an unsafe status in the event of a sin gle fault
(1) Precautions for use
These products are designed and manufactured for general and standard use in general elec tron ic equipment
(e.g. AV equipment, home electric appliances, offi ce equipment, information and communication equipment)
These products are not intended for use in the following special conditions. Before using the products,
carefully check the effects on their quality and performance, and determine whether or not they can be used.
1. In liquid, such as water, oil, chemicals, or organic solvent
2. In direct sunlight, outdoors, or in dust
3. In salty air or air with a high concentration of corrosive gas, such as Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2, or NO2
4. Electric Static Discharge (ESD) Environment (except ESD Suppressors)
These components are sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged under static shock (ESD).
Please take measures to avoid any of these environments.
Smaller components are more sensitive to ESD environment.
5. Electromagnetic Environment
Avoid any environment where strong electromagnetic waves exist.
6. In an environment where these products cause dew condensation
7. Sealing or coating of these products or a printed circuit board on which these products are mounted, with
resin or other materials
These products generate Joule heat when energized. Carefully position these products so that their heat will
not affect the other components.
Carefully position these products so that their temperatures will not exceed the category temperature range due
to the effects of neighboring heat-generating components. Do not mount or place heat-generating components
or infl ammables, such as vinyl-coated wires, near these products (except Thermal Cutoffs).
Note that non-cleaning solder, halogen-based highly active fl ux, or water-soluble fl ux may deteriorate the
performance or reliability of the products.
Carefully select a fl ux cleaning agent for use after soldering. An unsuitable agent may deteriorate the performance
or reliability. In particular, when using water or a water-soluble cleaning agent, be careful not to leave water
residues. Otherwise, the insulation performance may be deteriorated.
(2) Precautions for storage
The performance of these products, including the solderability, is guaranteed for a year from the date of ar riv al
at your company, provided that they remain packed as they were when delivered and stored at a tem per a ture
of 5 °C to 35 °C and a relative humidity of 45 % to 85 %. (Micro Chip Fuses: Guaranteed for 6 months from the
date of arrival at your company)
The performance of EMI Filters is guaranteed for 6 months or a year from the out go ing inspection date indicated on
the packages, provided that they are stored at a temperature of -5 °C to +40 °C and a relative humidity of 40 %
to 60 %. Check the guarantee period in the specifi cations. The performance of Thermal Cut offs is guaranteed for a
