Reliable Thermal Fuse 100C for Everyday Safety

Looking for a safe and dependable way to protect home appliances or electronics from overheating? The Semiconductors VET8098 is a thermal fuse rated at 100C (212F) and 15 Amps. This easy-to-install, non-resettable thermal cut-off ensures your household devices shut off automatically if temperatures get too highhelping to prevent damage and improve safety in your home.

What Is a 100C Thermal Fuse?

A thermal fuse (also called a thermal cut-off) is a temperature-sensitive safety device. When the VET8098 detects heat above 100C, it permanently opens the circuit so power cannot flowhelping to stop fires or failed components. Once triggered, the fuse must be replaced for the appliance to work again.

NOTICE 1: As you may or may not already know. NTE is officially out of business and we are unable to order parts from them ever again.

However, we were able to locate the company that NTE used to make these Thermal Cutoffs (All NTE did was relabel product and resell it). This means that you may order the NTE part, but we may ship different part numbers that are the original parts that match the NTE specifications. Certificates Of Conformity are available from us, upon request.

NOTICE 2: These no longer come with the un-insulated crimp butt connectors that NTE used to include with them. If you need them, we recommend either ordering SR-BUT-2N. If you have a special need for them, you can always email us for more information and we are always here to help.
