The ATCO Thermal-Link is a non-resettable protective device used in electrical equipment. It consists of a fusible alloy, flux resin, case, sealant, and lead wires. It functions by melting the fusible alloy under abnormal temperature conditions, disconnecting the circuit.
The XG Series has a rated current of 3A and various models with different rated functioning temperatures (Tf) ranging from 76°C to 221°C. The devices are certified under multiple standards including UL, CAN-CSA, EN, and others.
Available in bulk and taping options with specific dimensions and quantities.
The document outlines the specifications for hand-soldering and wave soldering of ATCO components. It includes detailed tables specifying the maximum allowable soldering time and temperature for different lead wire lengths. The hand-soldering time varies based on the rated functioning temperature (Tf) and lead wire length (Ls), with auxiliary heat sink fixtures required for certain conditions to prevent unexpected cutting off of ATCO.
For temperatures ranging from 76°C to 230°C, the maximum soldering time is specified for lead wire lengths of 10mm, 20mm, and 30mm, with corresponding times increasing with temperature.
When bending lead wires, maintain a specified distance between the body and bending point as per Table XG-3. Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the product, and avoid tangential forces on the leads to prevent damage to the ATCO seal.
The document provides parameters for preheating, wave soldering, and cooling times. For temperatures between 131°C and 230°C, specific preheating and wave soldering temperatures are recommended, with maximum allowable times for each stage.
Description Alloy Thermal-Link / Alloy Thermal Cutoff (ATCO) is defined as a non-resettable protective device functioning one time only. It is widely used in electrical equipment. ATCO is mainly consist of fusible alloy, flux resin, case, sealant and lead wires. Normally, fusible alloy is jointed to the two lead temp. of ATCO, the fusible alloy melts and quickly retracts to the two lead wire ends with the aid of the flux resin and disconnects the circuit completely.
