AC Series Breaker (Thermal Cutoff Device)
Caution when using Breaker
Before using the breaker, please fully read the DESIGN AND HANDLING CAUTIONS stated below to avoid breaker performance deterioration
and/or damage to the breaker body or terminal.
DESIGN CAUTIONS
1. Use within the electrical ratings specied in this data sheet. If used over the rating of voltage or current, ON-OFF life might be impacted
and contact may deteriorate due to breaker arm damage.
2. If used over the maximum electrical rating specied in this data sheet, the circuit may not open safely or operate properly. Please test your
device for any abnormalities and conrm that the breaker will open the circuit safely in your device.
3. Mount the breaker on your device where heat is the highest in order to transfer it effectively to the breaker.
4. If the breaker is afxed with an adhesive (resin, etc.), before proceeding fully test, evaluate and verify that the adhesive presents no
negative effects on the breaker.
5. After the breaker is mounted, afx it so that the breaker body and terminals will not move. If not afxed properly, breaker resistance could
increase or contact could open due to stress during handling or vibration/shock during transportation.
6. Mount the breaker body and terminals in a straight and at direction. If the body and terminals are mounted in a twisted condition, breaker
resistance could increase or create body damage.
7. If breaker is to be resin-molded, test and evaluate the application to determine whether the breaker can be used effectively.
8. The breaker cannot be used as a repetitive ON-OFF thermostat.
9. The breaker is not washable. Do not wash.
10. The breaker is not designed or warranted for ow, reow or hand-soldering applications. If such application is required, you will need to
evaluate whether the breaker is suitable for your specic application.
11. When mounting and after mounting the breaker, do not apply supersonic vibration. Vibration and heat may cause breaker resistance
to increase or may cause body damage. If you plan to apply supersonic vibration after mounting the breaker, you will need to evaluate
whether the breaker is suitable for your specic application. The breaker is not designed or warranted to withstand supersonic vibration.
12. Do not use the breaker in the following environments:
a) Water, oil, chemical or organic solutions
b) Direct sunlight, outdoor exposure, dust
c) Dew condensation, where the breaker could get wet
d) Salt breeze, chlorine, hydrogen sulde, ammonium, sulde-oxidation, hydrogen chloride, and anywhere there is a possibility of
generating corrosive gas such as sulfurous acid gas
e) Strong static electric charge or electromagnetic wave
13. The breaker is not designed or tested for, and should not be used in, aerospace, airplane, nuclear, military, life-sustaining medical and
other related applications.

AC Series Breaker (Thermal Cutoff Device)
Caution when using Breaker (Continued)
HANDLING CAUTIONS
1. Since the breaker body is composed of plastic parts, do not clamp or dent with tools as this could cause a resistance increase or body
damage.
2. Breaker terminals are thin copper-alloy with right angle edges. Handle carefully to avoid injury to ngers. Handling while wearing nger
cots and using tweezers is recommended.
3. When welding breaker terminals or mounting the breaker on a cell or PCM board, be careful to avoid placing excessive stress on the
breaker body and terminals. Excessive stress may cause a resistance increase or body damage. Please refer to the following cautions:
a) Do not apply more than 10 N moment to the breaker body (refer to Figure 1)
b) Do not apply more than 1.5 cN-m twist torque to the breaker body (refer to Figure 2)
c) Do not apply more than 20 N bending force to the breaker body (refer to Figure 3)
d) Do not apply more than 0.6 cN-m twist torque to the breaker terminals (refer to Figure 4)
e) Do not apply more than 2 N force to the breaker terminals (refer to Figure 5)
f) Do not bend terminals more than 45 ° at root (refer to Figure 6)
g) Do not twist terminals more than 10 ° with the breaker body afxed.
4. In breaker body welding, normally there is direct welding (Figure 7) and series welding (Figure 8). In either case, use a suitable jig so that
stress will not exceed the limits stated above.
5. Pull-and-detach strength of the terminal welding should be to your own specication. If the welding result is controlled by resistance,
measurement should be made at a close point to the breaker body by “DC 4-point clip method” using a milliohm meter to ensure accuracy
(refer to Figure 9).
6. Avoid putting excessive stress as shown above in 3-a) to 3-g) when the jig is used for welding/additional processing.
7. Conrm the resistance value after each time an additional process is applied.

Legal Disclaimer Notice
This legal disclaimer applies to purchasers and users of Bourns® products manufactured by or on behalf of Bourns, Inc. and

The characteristics and parameters of a Bourns® product set forth in its data sheet are based on laboratory conditions, and
statements regarding the suitability of products for certain types of applications are based on Bourns’ knowledge of typical
requirements in generic applications. The characteristics and parameters of a Bourns® product in a user application may vary
from the data sheet characteristics and parameters due to (i) the combination of the Bourns® product with other components
in the user’s application, or (ii) the environment of the user application itself. The characteristics and parameters of a Bourns®
product also can and do vary in dierent applications and actual performance may vary over time. Users should always verify
the actual performance of the Bourns® product in their specic devices and applications, and make their own independent
