Supco STC4283 15 Amp Thermal Cutoff 291°F

The Supco STC4283 is a 15 amp thermal cutoff designed to provide critical overheat protection for appliances and electrical equipment. This non-resettable safety device is engineered to permanently open the circuit when temperatures reach 291°F (144°C), preventing potential fire hazards and equipment damage.

Key Features:

• 15 amp current rating for reliable circuit protection
• 291°F (144°C) activation temperature
• Non-resettable thermal cutoff design ensures permanent protection once triggered
• Compact design for easy installation in tight spaces
• Commonly used in dryers, dishwashers, coffee makers, and other heating appliances

Thermal cutoffs are essential safety components that act as a last line of defense against dangerous overheating conditions. When the rated temperature is exceeded, the internal element melts and permanently breaks the electrical connection, requiring replacement of the device. This fail-safe design ensures continued protection even if other temperature controls malfunction.
