Thermal Fuse 152°C – Easy, Reliable Overheat Protection

VET8149 Thermal Fuse for Appliance and Electronic Safety

The VET8149 thermal fuse (originally supplied as NTE8149 by NTE Semiconductors, now by Vetco Electronics Semiconductors) is a high-quality, non-resettable temperature-sensitive fuse designed to help protect your appliances and electronics from overheating. It is easy to install, dependable, and suitable for thousands of everyday uses.

Why Use a Thermal Cut-Off Fuse?

Thermal fuses like the VET8149 are an inexpensive and effective way to keep your home and devices safe from fire and electrical damage. If your appliance or circuit ever overheats, the fuse permanently cuts the power—helping avoid costly repairs or dangerous accidents.

Perfect for Home Appliance Repair

The VET8149 thermal cutoff is trusted for use in hair dryers, refrigerators, battery chargers, irons, hot plates, coffee makers, glue guns, toasters, microwave ovens, dishwashers, electric motors, window fans, power strips, popcorn poppers, UPS systems, and many more household appliances.

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.
