Introduction
NEC SCHOTT develops and manufactures thermal cutoff protection devices, widely known as SEFUSE®. These devices are
designed to protect industrial and home electrical equipment from catching fire by sensing overheating and cutting off the
electrical circuit immediately.
There are three SEFUSE® types, namely, SF, SM and D6, to suit the needs of a wide range of applications. The SF-type uses
a thermosensitive material as the thermal pellet, while the SM- and D6-types use a fusible alloy. SEFUSE® meets a number
of international industrial safety standards, and is a highly reliable thermal protection device that provides excellent and long-
lasting performance.

Features
●The SF-type, except SF/K series, has a ceramic pipe that alleviates any stress that may occur on the sealing resin when the
leads are bent, thereby reliably holding the leads in place. In addition, the sliding contact is made of a silver copper oxide
(AgCuO) material that is patented worldwide.
●The SEFUSE® D6-type integrates a heater resistance within the thermal cutoff. Hence, the D6-type thermal protection
device can be activated either when the abnormal temperature increase is caused by the external environment, or when it is
resulted from the heat generation triggered by the external signal.
●Meets many international safety standards such as UL, VDE, CCC, PSE, etc.
●Eco-friendly with no hazardous substances (complies with WEEE and RoHS).

Applications
●Small home appliances, such as coffee makers, electric kettles, rice cookers, bread makers, hot plates, irons and hair
dryers
●Large home appliances such as air-conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, fan heaters, gas boilers
●Office equipment, such as copiers, laser beam printers, facsimile machines and power taps
●Battery devices, such as battery packs and chargers
●Various power supplies, such as transformers, adaptors, invertors and cement resistance
●Car applications, such as automotive air-conditioners, solenoids and motors

Construction
SF Type
Series: SF/R, SFH/R, SF/K, SF/Y
The thermal pellet placed inside the metal case of the SF-type responds to an
abnormal temperature situation and triggers the cutoff function. The SF-type
features a large rated current of 6A to 15A (AC). Furthermore, the SFH/R series
has higher Tm than conventional thermal cutoffs, as well as excellent insulation
performance at high temperature conditions.

The SF-type contains a sliding contact, springs and a thermal When the ambient temperature rises to the operating
pellet inside a metal case. When spring B is compressed, there temperature of the SF-type, heat is transferred through the
is firm contact between lead A and the sliding contact. At metal case and melts the thermal pellet. Springs A and B then
normal temperatures, current flows from lead A to the sliding stretch and the sliding contact moves away from lead A,
contact and then through the metal case to lead B. thereby opening the electrical circuit.

*Not used in SF/K series.

SM Type
Series: SM/A, SM/B, SM/G
The SM-type uses a fusible alloy inside a ceramic case. As ceramic is an insulator,
the SM-type can be fixed directly where temperature detection is required. The
SM-type has a rated current of 0.5A to 2.0A (AC) / 3.0A to 7.0A (DC).

The leads of the SM-type are connected by a fusible alloy When the ambient temperature rises to the operating
thereby allowing the current to flow directly from one lead to temperature of the SM-type, the fusible alloy melts and forms a

and the special flux coating. Without a direct contact between
the leads, the electrical circuit is opened.
 5

D6 Type
Series: D6T, D6X, D6WX
The D6-type uses a ceramic material for the body (cap and base) and
integrates a resistor as a heater inside the thermal cutoff. Hence, the D6-type
can be activated either when the abnormal temperature increase is caused by
the external environment, or when it is a result of the heat generated by the
electrical circuit within the device. This provides a second protection for the
electrical equipment in which the D6-type is installed.
The D6-type is available for 12A and 15A (DC).

In another scenario, the heater resistance generates heat in
response to an external signal, thereby melting the fuse
element and cutting off the electrical circuit immediately.

Definition of Terms

Rated Functioning Temperature (Tf)

Rated functioning temperature is the operating temperature of the thermal cutoff, measured using the method specified in the
safety standard.
As stated in the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law (PSE) of Japan (Appendix 3, Section 3), the thermal cutoff
should operate within ±7°C of the specified operating temperature. In cases where Tf is greater than 200°C, the thermal cutoff
should operate within ±10°C of the specified operating temperature.
In standards that comply with the IEC standard, it is indicated that the thermal cutoff should operate within +0/-10°C of the
specified temperature range.

Operating Temperature
Operating temperature and tolerance refers to the operating temperature range measured by the following conditions.
A thermal cutoff test sample is placed in the condition where the temperature of a thermostatic oven is raised until 12°C below
the rated functioning temperature of the test sample at optionally increasing speed.
Then the temperature of the thermostatic oven is raised at the rate of 0.5-1.0°C a minute.
At this time, the electric current flowing through the test sample for opening confirmation shall be less than 10mA.
Furthermore, the distance between a measuring point and a test sample shall be less than 20 mm.

Th (Holding Temperature)
Th is the maximum temperature measured on the thermal cutoff when it continues to conduct a rated current without
changing its state of conductivity for 168 hours.

Tm (Maximum Temperature Limit)

Maximum temperature limit is the maximum temperature for which conductivity does not occur again during the following
test.
First, the samples are maintained at Tm for a period of 10 minutes. Then, the withstand voltage test is conducted for 2 minutes
with twice the rated voltage. During the test, the thermal cutoff must remain in the functioned state, i.e. open. Hence, no
current is allowed to pass through.
(Functioned state of the SF type: not less than 0.2MΩ; SM type: not less than 2MΩ (between body and lead) and not less than
0.2MΩ (between lead and lead)

Cautions
This section describes points to note, about the design, installation and storage of
NEC SCHOTT SEFUSE® thermal cutoffs, so as to achieve the optimum performance of these
thermal protection devices.

For optimal thermal cutoff performance, it is recommended that customers correctly store the thermal protection devices,
design appropriate circuits for the appliances and perform evaluations, mounting and testing steps as necessary. Problems
arising from the inappropriate execution of the above would be the sole responsibility of the customer, and NEC SCHOTT
declines any and all responsibility.

Design
Do not use this device for any purpose other than as a thermal cutoff.
The thermal cutoff is designed to detect abnormal rises in temperature and open the electrical circuits as required. It is not
a current fuse that cuts off excess current. If the thermal cutoff is used as a current fuse, it may malfunction.

Do not use this device in aerospace equipment, aeronautical equipment, nuclear reactor control systems, life support
equipment or systems, transportation machinery engine control or safety-related equipment.
This device is designed for use in household electrical appliances, office automation equipment, audio and video
equipment, c omputer c ommunic ations equipment, test and measurement equipment, personal electronic
equipment and transportation equipment (excluding engine control).

Decisions regarding the type of thermal cutoff, the installation location and the mounting method should be made by the
customers, based upon the requirements of the final application.
It is recommended that designers test the final design with the selected thermal cutoff under both normal conditions as well
as predicted worst-case scenarios.

▼Thermal cutoffs should be mounted where it can detect abnormal heat as quickly as possible.
The thermal cutoff operates when the thermal element within melts. Therefore, if the thermal element does not reach
the operating temperature, the cutoff will not activate even if the ambient temperature has risen to the operating
temperature. In addition, a short lag time might result in the event of a sudden rise in the ambient temperature or if the
thermal cutoff only detects part of the temperature increase.

▼Thermal cutoffs* should be mounted such that the temperature gradient is equal throughout the thermal cutoff.
If lead B of the SF-type, which is caulked to the metal case, is mounted in such a way that it only conducts heat to the
metal case, the temperature around the thermal pellet would always be higher than other parts in the metal case. This
could lead to the thermal cutoff opening prematurely. Hence, it is recommended that lead A, which is the resin-sealed
side, be connected nearer to the heat source.
It should also be mentioned that similarly, if lead A is fixed in a location where the temperature it is exposed to is always
lower than that of lead B, the thermal cutoff could also be prematurely triggered.
* except SFH-R series

▼Cautions about Tm
Please ensure that the design of the final application does not exceed Tm (the maximum temperature limit) of the
thermal cutoff.
If used in conditions beyond the rated temperature, a dielectric breakdown could result and the thermal cutoff could re-
conduct even after opening.

▼Cautions about Th (SF type)

Continuous exposure to temperatures close to the Th temperature of the thermal cutoff could result in the thermal
pellet reducing in size over time, thereby shortening the lifespan of the thermal cutoff. This change in the pellet size is
irreversible. Hence, it is important that designers select and test thermal cutoffs suitable for the temperature zone of
the final application, based on the temperature recommendations in Table 1.
Please also note that the Th temperature test is a one-time test, not a cycle test, conducted continuously for 168 hours.
 23

Designers of the final application should take into account the maximum surface temperature of the thermal cutoff as shown
in Table 1, and avoid exceeding this level.
If the body temperature of the thermal cutoff is exceeded on a regular basis, the thermal cutoff may start opening
at temperatures lower than the normal operating temperature. Malfunctions may also occur. In case of using SM-
type in DC rating, please kindly contact NEC SCHOTT.

Note that the temperature listed in Table 1 refers to the surface temperature of the thermal cutoff, not the ambient temperature.

Thermal cutoffs have a limited life.

The thermal elements used are durable substances designed for long-term use. However, the longevity of the
thermal cutof f depends on the conditions in which it is exposed to. This is par ticularly true if the thermal
protection device is frequently exposed to temperatures very close to its operating temperature.
Hence, it is recommended that designers conduct a reliability test by fixing the thermal protection device onto
the actual application and simulating the expected operating conditions to assess the lifetime of the device.

The body temperature of the thermal cutoff increases as current passes through it.
The body temperature of the thermal cutof f could rise to levels higher than the ambient temperature current
passes through the device. In addition, the body temperature could also increase depending on a number of
factors such as the mounting method. Hence, it is recommended that designers measure the body temperature
of the thermal cutoff after conducting a reliability test.

Use the thermal cutoff with a voltage and current level lower than the rated level.
If the thermal cutof f is used with a voltage or current level higher than the rated level, the contacts may be
welded together in the SF-type, causing the thermal cutoff to malfunction. In the SM-type and D6-type, the body
of the thermal cutoff may rupture.

Do not use the thermal cutoff in an atmosphere out of the standard specifications such as in environments exposed to
sulfurous acid gas, nitrogen oxide gas, ammonia gas or conditions that contain formic acid. It is also not suitable for high
humidity situations and submersion in a liquid.
The case of the thermal cutoff* is made with a copper alloy. Hence, installing the thermal cutoff in such conditions
or similar, could deteriorate the sealing resin or lead to cracks in the case of the thermal cutoff due to corrosion.
The thermal cutoff could thus operate at lower than operating temperatures or not activate even if its operating
temperature is exceeded.
* SF-K series only

The thermal cutoff corresponds to industrial waste.

The thermal cutof f corresponds to industrial waste, and requires disposal according to governmental and
provincial regulations. The services of a licensed disposal contractor could also be engaged.

The thermal cutoff is a non-repairable device.

In case of replacement, an equivalent thermal cutoff from the same manufacturer should be used. For general
consumers who are not aware of the cautions associated with the thermal cutoff, they should be informed not to
mount, remove or replace the thermal cutoff through a note to this effect in the user's manual and other related
materials.

Cautions
Lead wire process
●When bending the lead wire, it is important not to apply excessive pressure to the root of the lead wire. The lead wire should
be secured close to the case and bent (not twisted) at a distance 3 mm or more from the body of the fuse.
SF / SM Type D6 Type
3mm or more

3mm or more

secured secured
secured secured
●The tensile strength applied to the lead wire should be 49N or less for SF-type and 9.8N or less for SM- and D6-types.
●The strength applied to the body of the thermal cutoff should be 98N or less for SF-type, 49N or less for SM-type, and 4.9N
or less for D6 type.
With regards to the SF-type, deformation of the case may change the location of the sliding contact during operation and
could lead to the thermal cutoff operating only at temperatures lower than the normal operating temperature range. The
thermal cutoff may also not operate even if the thermal cutoff's operating temperature is exceeded.

Mounting
Thermal cutoffs can be mounted by soldering, caulking or welding.
●The connecting position at the lead of the resin-sealed side should be 5 mm or more from the body of the thermal cutoff.

SF-Type SM-Type

connecting connecting
position position
5 mm or more 5 mm or more 5 mm or more

D6-Type 5 mm or more 5 mm or more

connecting position

●If soldering, take note that the thermal cutoff may function because of excessive solder temperature. To prevent such
malfunctions, for example, holding the lead near the case with a tool is effective for allowing the heat to escape and the
soldering should be done in short intervals.
Another effective method is to use a lower solder temperature and to solder at a location that is at a distance from the case.

●If caulking or welding, be careful to keep the resistance value of the connecting section low. If the connecting section has a
high resistance value, the passing current may generate an abnormally high temperature that will cause the thermal cutoff
to operate.
 25

●After mounting the thermal cutoff, be careful not to apply force that may pull, push or twist the lead wires.

●If using a SF-type thermal cutoff, the lead on the resin-sealed side must not be allowed to touch the case. This would
cause the current to flow from the lead on the resin-sealed side to the opposite lead resulting in a non-functioning
thermal cutoff.

●N ote that the body of the SF-type is the same in potential as the circuit. Therefore, it must be electrically isolated from
other metallic parts.

Storage
●The body and lead A of the SF-type, and the leads of SM092A and SM092B are silver-plated. Therefore, these parts may
discolor because of sulfuration, making the markings on the body illegible or negatively affecting the solder-ability of the
lead. To avoid this, the thermal cutoff should not be kept around materials (such as cardboard or rubber, etc.) which generate
sulfurous acid gas.

●When storage in cardboard boxes is required, thermal cutoffs should be double packed and sealed in polybags such as
polyethylene.

Recommendation
●N EC SCHOTT recommends the following tests upon receipt and after mounting of the thermal cutoff, as it may have
undergone some mechanical load or thermal influence during transportation or when being mounted.
1. Appearance check
2. Resistance check (comparing before with after), or conductive check
3. X-ray inspection
4. Operation check for sampling

●Be careful when mounting the thermal cutoff because external force, heat or a harmful atmosphere (containing excessive
humidity or sulfurous acid gas) may damage the thermal cutoff.

I f applicable, it is recommended that the general consumers, who are unaware of the usage cautions for thermal cutoffs, be
informed not to mount, remove, or replace the thermal cutoff through a note to this effect in the user's manual and other
related material.

All reasonable care has been taken to present the data here and the values contained in this document were obtained under
certain testing conditions by us. They are not guaranteed and are for reference only.
