What is the difference and function between temperature fuse and current fuse?

The main differences between temperature fuse and current fuse are: when the temperature fuse is blown, the temperature is high, but the current is not necessarily high; The current fuse is blown, the temperature is high, and the current is bound to be high. Let's learn more about the functions of temperature fuse and current fuse.

Temperature fuse can induce overheating of electrical and electronic products during abnormal operation, thus cutting off the circuit and avoiding fire. Commonly used in: hair dryer, electric iron, rice cooker, electric stove, transformer, motor, water dispenser, coffee pot, etc. The temperature fuse can't be used again after working, and it only works once at the melting temperature.

Current fuse, also called current fuse or fuse, is defined as "fuse link" in IEC 127 standard. The key part (fuse) is made of silver-copper alloy with relatively high resistivity and low melting point. The fuse will automatically fuse and cut off the current when the current abnormally rises to a certain height and heat, thus protecting the safe operation of the circuit.
