Hi All,

Connector heater packed up after falling over whilst on.

After much head scratching I found an O/C thermal fuse.

Ive got a replacement (157 degree), Im planning mechanical fixing with some machine screws and nuts, but was wondering, at that rated temp, would it be possible to solder it? Or would that = another O/C fuse?

TIA

Chris

I've soldered them on car resistor packs.

When cutting out the old fuse leave 0.25 to 0.5 of the wire. This allows
a mexchanical joint to be made by bending the wire and crimping with a
pair of pliers.
To solder you need a large (high wattage, 50W) and solder quickly
