Default Can you solder a thrmal fuse in place?

Who are you quoting, from long time ago?

I think I'll solder, with a heat sink far from the end of
the wire to
be soldered and nearer the fuse.


One thing I was taught LONG ago with "heat sensitive"
components was to use
ALL of the lead length AND put some kind of "heat sink"
between the solder
joint and the component. A "hemostat" type clamp works
just fine, thank
you.

Do that and your thermal fuse will not even get "warm to the
touch" when you
install it.
