If safety risks arise in the course of electronic processes, fast action is required. Thermal fuses monitor the thermal conditions in systems and ensure immediate interruption of the circuit as soon as a certain limit value is exceeded. The circuit is thus safely and uniquely disconnected, protecting electrical equipment or individual components from destruction due to overheating and overload. In addition, the preventive use of thermal fuses reduces the consequential risk of fires and promotes the overall safety of the entire system.
