The NuWave oven had multiple thermal fuses and I had to go deep into the belly of the beast to find the bad one. Yes amazing how many devices get trashed due to such an inexpensive device.

The square ones do use solder. It's just two wires connected with alloy with a low melting temp. The packing absorbs the liquid metal. It's sad they use this, I have a old early 80s maybe late 70s fan heater. It has a thermal switch you can reset simply by pushing it back once cool. I know the thermal fuses cost literally pennies but I'd much rather pay a bit for a reset switch. It's actually very wasteful and greedy

I assumed it doesn't make a difference as current can travel in either direction through a fuse.

Does this mean, the fuse will blow EITHER the temperature exceeds 115 Degree or the current exceeds 2A? It is not that both conditions must be present before the fuse blows right? If I may use the Basic Logic Gate, it is a OR gate and not AND gate, right?

The thermal fuse may blow if EITHER the rated current OR temp is exceeded. Resistors and other current carrying components, including thermal fuses, may fail if their rated currents are exceeded. The manufacturer is informing the purchaser that the thermal fuse is rated to handle up to 2A at 250V which covers European, American and most other common household voltages. This 250V thermal fuse can be used safely on nominal 120V American household appliances and even nominal 240V appliances like dryers. However, regardless of the voltage of the circuit, the thermal fuse is only rated to carry 2A.

I am very new to electronics (only as a hobby, not my profession). Questions: 1) why is one end of the fuse shorter then another? 2) is it important how you connect it - "which way" should the "sharper" end face? 3) I would like to blow it that I connect some 9V battery to an LED via a resistor with having this fuse in the circuit. Using a lighter I would heat it up above 94*C. Any precautions maybe? I would probably use alligator clips for connecting the fuse to the linear circuit or maybe just some copper wire because I fear the clips will also overheat and maybe melt the rubber part. Fuse type: SEFUSE, sf90r0, 94*C, 15A

Great video. Are they single use only, or do they "fix" themselves once the temperature is restored? If they are single use, are you aware of an alternative that would be multi use. I'm thinking of a thermal sensor for a li-ion battery to cut the power to the battery if the battery heats up due to over or under charge or bad polarity - hopefully stopping thermal runaway. But it would be great if the fuse was reusable. If maybe the problem was not with the battery or fuse but somewhere else in the circuit for example.

The thermal cutoff fuse may blow if EITHER its temperature OR rated current is exceeded. Say the manufacturer rates a thermal fuse at 220C 10A 250V. The thermal fuse will blow if it experiences a temperature greater than 220C, meaning a combination of the fuse's internal resistance heating and the ambient temperature it's being exposed to within the appliance. The thermal fuse may also blow if the continuous current it is carrying exceeds 10A, regardless of the voltage of the circuit it is part of. Resistors and other current carrying components, including thermal fuses, may fail if their rated currents are exceeded. The 250V indication means it's good for use in appliances connected to European, American and most other common household circuits. A 250V rated thermal fuse can be used safely in 120V American circuits and 230V European circuits. However, regardless of the voltage of the circuit, the thermal fuse in our example is rated to carry a continuous current no greater than 10A.

Correct, the fuse is rated to carry a certain amount of current, but if you go well above that rating, the fuse will heat up and cause the circuit to open as if an external high temp made it blow.

I've seen appliances that have a resetting thermal switch, but just in case that ever doesn't open for some reason, which is less likely than contacts breaking, but it's still a realistic possibility that a reusable switch, could eventually have the contacts "weld" together from the arcs. So, to prevent a fire from starting, a thermal fuse could be included that's rated at a higher temp than the switch, to cut the power off in an emergency, just in case. Even if there was a fire and they did get sued, they could settle out of court for a smaller amount, by pointing out the safety features they included to prevent fires from starting.
