[edit] How a thermal fuse senses heat?

As I just added to the page, It uses a Cu/Be/Ag meltable pellet to hold/release a spring. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I would love to know how a thermal fuse reacts to heat when it opens the circuit.. what mechanism it uses? chemical or physical? thanks Ai.unit (talk) 00:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Here is a picture of a thermal fuse showing how it is used. I was going to upload it to Wikipedia, but got directed to Wikimedia. I don't know the proper way to add it to an atricle here and I don't feel like trying to figure it out. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Thermal-Fuse-CJC01.png C J Cowie (talk) 21:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
