VET8118 - THERMAL FUSE 121 °C (Replaces NTE8118)
Thermal Fuse 121°C – VET8118 from Vetco Electronics Semiconductors
Reliable Overheat Protection with the VET8118 Thermal Fuse
The VET8118 Thermal Fuse 121°C from Vetco Electronics Semiconductors provides simple, affordable, and reliable overheat protection for a wide range of home appliances and electronic devices. Also known as a thermal cut-off or thermal safety fuse, this miniature, non-resettable device is specially designed to stop overheating and safeguard your appliances and electronics.
Easy to Use Thermal Safety Fuse for Everyday Applications
Designed for easy installation in everyday products, the VET8118 is ideal for replacing fuses in hair dryers, coffee makers, refrigerators, battery chargers, irons, glue guns, window fans, microwaves, toasters, dishwashers, popcorn poppers, electric motors, and many more. With convenient 18-gauge solid copper leads, this fuse fits most replacement configurations without hassle.
How the 121°C Thermal Fuse Works
When temperatures rise above the functioning temperature of 121°C (250°F), the fuse interrupts power to the circuit—preventing damage or fire. It permanently opens the circuit via an internal pellet that triggers a spring mechanism, giving you peace of mind and lasting protection with a single-use, fail-safe operation.

Notices
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.
