ELCUT UMI Microtemp Thermal Axial Type 222R 5A 250V Cutoff 5 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The ELCUT UMI Microtemp Thermal Axial Type 222R is a precision‑engineered thermal cutoff designed for demanding electrical environments. Constructed from high‑temperature resistant alloys, the device reliably interrupts current flow when the internal temperature reaches a calibrated 115°C, protecting downstream components from overheating and potential fire hazards. Its axial design allows for easy insertion into circuit boards or terminal blocks, while the compact dimensions (4.37 x 2.28 x 0.2 inches) ensure it fits within tight enclosures without sacrificing performance.

Key specifications include a rated current of 5 A and a maximum voltage rating of 250 V AC, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of applications ranging from consumer electronics to industrial machinery. The product is manufactured by T&F Elec, a reputable supplier known for stringent quality control and compliance with international safety standards. Each package contains five individually tested units, providing redundancy for critical systems and simplifying inventory management for service technicians.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the 222R thermal cutoff can be deployed in numerous settings. In residential environments, it protects household appliances such as coffee makers, washing machines, and air conditioners from thermal runaway caused by prolonged operation or component failure. In industrial contexts, the device is ideal for safeguarding transformers, motor drives, and control panels where high currents and elevated temperatures are common.

Office automation equipment, including plain‑paper copiers and multifunction printers, benefit from the cutoff’s rapid response to overheating, extending the lifespan of costly optical and mechanical parts. Additionally, the cutoff is compatible with electric industrial equipment used in manufacturing lines, where it serves as a fail‑safe to prevent equipment damage and ensure worker safety. Its low profile enables installation in confined spaces, and the axial mounting style simplifies replacement during routine maintenance.

FAQ

What does the “115C” rating mean?

The 115C rating indicates the temperature at which the thermal cutoff will open the circuit. When the internal element reaches 115°C, the device interrupts current flow, preventing overheating of downstream components.

Can this cutoff be used in DC circuits?

Yes, the cutoff is rated for 250 V AC but can also be applied in DC systems up to the same voltage level, provided the current does not exceed 5 A and the operating environment meets the specified temperature range.

Is the axial design compatible with standard PCB footprints?

The axial form factor is designed to fit common through‑hole and surface‑mount footprints. Refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet for exact dimensions and recommended soldering guidelines.

How long does the cutoff last under normal operating conditions?

When used within its rated specifications, the cutoff can reliably operate for many years. Its lifespan is primarily limited by the number of thermal cycles it experiences; typical industrial usage sees thousands of cycles without degradation.

What warranty does the product include?

The product comes with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If a unit fails due to a defect, we will replace it at no additional cost.
