KCA Series A-Type Breaker (Thermal Cutoff Device)
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.
and contact may deteriorate due to breaker arm damage.
3. Mount the breaker on your device where heat is the highest in order to transfer it effectively to the breaker.
breaker before proceeding.
increase or contact could open due to stress during handling or vibration/shock during transportation.
resistance could increase or create body damage.
9. The breaker is not washable. Do not wash.
11. When mounting and after mounting the breaker, do not apply supersonic vibration. Vibration and heat may cause breaker resistance
12. Do not use the breaker in the following environments:
a) Water, oil, chemicals or organic solutions
b) Direct sunlight, outdoor exposure, dust
c) Dew condensation, allowing the breaker to get wet
generating corrosive gas such as sulfurous acid gas
e) Strong static electric charge or electromagnetic wave
other related applications.

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.
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)
c) Do not apply more than 20 N bending force to the breaker body (refer to Figure 3)
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)
stress will not exceed the limits stated above.
(refer to Figure 9).
