From Portage Electric Products, Inc.
 

 

Thermal fuses are the least versatile type in the thermal control family of devices. These devices are commonly referred to as "One-shots" or one time use type control.

Products & Services
Temperature instruments use contact or noncontact methods to measure temperature. Products include dial, digital, industrial and laboratory thermometers; temperature probes, indicators, and sensors; RTD elements and transmitters; and thermistors, thermocouples, thermopiles, and thermal switches.  Search by Specification | Learn more about Temperature Instruments
Thermostats and thermal switches are electro-mechanical on/off switches that are activated by temperature changes. They are typically used to control heating and cooling systems. Search by Specification | Learn more about Thermostats and Thermal Switches
Thermal cutoffs and thermal protectors are nonresetting, thermally sensitive devices designed to protect domestic electrical appliances and industrial equipment from fire. They are sometimes described as thermal one-shot fuses. Search by Specification | Learn more about Thermal Cutoffs and Thermal Protectors
