Thermal Fuse 87°C – Reliable Thermal Protection for Home Appliances and Electronics

Vetco Electronics VET8085 87°C Thermal Fuse

The Vetco Electronics VET8085 thermal fuse is a vital safety device designed to protect your home appliances and electronics from overheating. This 87°C thermal cutoff fuse automatically disconnects power when the temperature exceeds its rated threshold, helping to prevent fires and permanent damage. It's easy to install and perfect for everyday consumers looking for straightforward, reliable thermal protection.

Previously supplied by NTE as NTE8085, this fuse is now offered directly by Vetco Electronics Semiconductors under the part number VET8085. All technical specs remain unchanged and the devices are produced by the same trusted manufacturer.

Wide Applications for Everyday Devices

This thermal fuse 87°C is commonly used in a wide range of household and electronic products where over-temperature shutdown is critical, including:

• Hair Dryers
• Refrigerators
• Battery Chargers
• Irons and Hot Plates
• Coffee Makers and Microwaves
• Glue Guns and Toasters
• Fans, UPS, Dishwashers, and more

How the VET8085 87°C Thermal Cutoff Works

The VET8085 87°C thermal cutoff is a non-resettable safety device. Inside, a heat-sensitive pellet releases spring-loaded contacts, which permanently open the circuit if the temperature rises above 87°C (189°F). This simple, effective design provides peace of mind without requiring manual resets.

Note: Continuous operation should be at least 30°C below the opening temperature. Safe for use in thousands of electronic and electrical applications.

Reliable, Trusted, and Simple Thermal Protection

Vetco Electronics Semiconductors' 87°C thermal fuse (VET8085) is an essential replacement part and safety upgrade for countless devices. It is manufactured to the same standards as the original NTE fuses and is a direct replacement with no compatibility concerns.

Each package contains 1 fuse. Certificates of Conformity are available on request.

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.
