Review on 🔥 AUPO BF142 Thermal Fuse Cutoff: Excellent Overheating Protection by John Murphy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

142°C/287.6°F My dehydrator heats up to 160°C

Replace the 142°C fuse in a dehydrator that is about 5 years old. I undid the butt connectors on the block heater board and crimped them back. However, I also soldered the crimp. You can solder them if you secure them with a double alligator clip to dissipate heat and use ice cubes on the thermal fuse itself. This keeps it cold and you can solder with 60/40 solder, which has a melting point of 190°C / 374°F. If your dehydrator is heated to 190°C / 374°F, you'll have worse problems with solder melting. 1.

Pros
  • Tools and household goods
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
