Thermal-Link (ATCO)-Alloy Type is defined as a non-resettable protective device
functioning one time only. It is widely used in electrical equipment. ATCO is mainly
consist of fusible alloy, flux resin, case, sealant and lead wires. Normally, fusible
alloy is jointed to the two lead wires. Under abnormal conditions, when the temp.
reaches to the fusing temp. of ATCO, the fusible alloy melts and quickly retracts to
the two lead wire ends with the aid of the flux resin and disconnects the circuit
completely.

Hand-Soldering
1. Soldering should be carried out according to Table T-1.
2. The thermal element of ATCO is fusible alloy with low melting point, which is jointed
with ATCO lead wires. Improper soldering operation (too high soldering temp. , too
long soldering time, too short lead wire etc.) may transfer more heat to the thermal
element and ATCO may open in advance.
