How the 192C Thermal Fuse Works

The VET8182 thermal fuse (previously known as NTE8182) is designed to cut off power when the temperature exceeds its rated limit. It uses an internal organic pellet that reacts to excessive heat, permanently opening the circuit. Once tripped, the fuse must be replaced for continued protection.

These thermal cutoffs are ideal for appliances such as:

• Coffee makers, toasters, irons, and hot plates
• Hair dryers, glue guns, and popcorn poppers
• Refrigerators, microwaves, and dishwashers
• UPS units, electric motors, window fans, and more

From Semiconductors

Semiconductors now supplies this trusted design as the VET8182 (equivalent to the former NTE8182). While NTE exited the business, we worked directly with the original manufacturer to ensure you still get a high-quality, exact-replacement thermal fuse.

Simple Installation and Dependable Safety

With a compact axial lead design and robust wiring, these fuses make DIY replacements and small appliance repair straightforwardeven for beginners. Detailed specs and Certificates of Conformity are available on request. Were here to help you choose the right fuse for your project!

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.
