Thermal Cutout Supco STC4468 Genuine OEM 15A 5-Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Supco STC4468 is a genuine OEM thermal cutout designed for demanding industrial environments where temperature control is critical. Constructed from high‑temperature resistant materials, this device reliably opens the circuit when a preset temperature threshold is exceeded, protecting downstream components from overheating. Rated for a continuous current of 15 A, the cutout offers a balance of robust performance and compact size, measuring just 6 × 6 × 6 inches and weighing 1.5 pounds, making it easy to integrate into existing panels and enclosures. Its construction follows strict Supco quality standards, ensuring consistent operation over thousands of thermal cycles. The part number STC4468 is recognized across the industry, and the unit ships as a single piece, ready for immediate installation.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of heating and cooling applications, the STC4468 thermal cutout excels in HVAC systems, industrial furnaces, water heaters, and any equipment where thermal runaway could cause costly downtime or safety hazards. Install the cutout in series with the heating element or power supply to provide automatic shut‑off when temperatures rise above the calibrated limit. Its 15 A rating makes it suitable for medium‑sized loads, while the compact footprint allows placement in tight panel spaces common in commercial and industrial installations. The device is also ideal for retrofitting older equipment that lacks modern thermal protection, giving legacy systems a reliable safety upgrade without extensive redesign.
