    Thermal Cutoff Resistor part

    Been reading on badcaps.net forums for a long time, this is my first thread though.

    I'm wondering if anybody here can help me find a component for a power supply board. It is a thermal cut-off with built in resistor. It reads "RCT051S 6R80JSMT". I've looked all over, but can't find a place online to order it in any reasonable quantity.

    I've attached the datasheet.

      Hmm, very interesting!

      What I would probably do is to get a regular ceramic/high-power resistor and attach a regular thermal fuse (trips on too high of a temperature) in series with it. The fuse would be adhered to the resistor in some way or another, so it will blow when the resistor gets too hot.

      I'm not sure how important it is, but it might be entirely possible to just use a regular resistor. Though this may cause a fire hazard.

      Trouble is ... did you check for short circuits?
      Resistors RARELY blow by themselves..

      I looked up online just briefly, and I see KOA speer has some thermal fused resistors as well. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a distributor who has them. I wonder if they'd be willing to give you some directly (not through a distributor or large quantity order).

      P.S. Welcome to BCN!

      P.S.2. Looking at the datasheet, the fused resistor you have has a nominal operating temperature of 152C, and a 10A rating. It's continuous rated power dissipation is 1.8W. The resistor part should be 6.8 ohms.

          Not an exact match, but both are in stock and might be close enough?

              Thanks much guys for the quick replies. Yeah, I was hoping to find those KOA parts, but I couldn't find a distributor either.

              I just ordered the ones listed on mouser.com. I'll give it a shot. This is for a friend's TV who had it mounted above a fireplace. I suspect that is directly leading to the overheating issue that is blowing this thermal cutoff resistor. I checked for shorts and everything seems good otherwise.

              I'll update when I get the parts. Thanks again.

                  I always shake my head when I see a TV mounted super close to a wall directly above a fireplace.

                  The argument I hear is "But, it looks so nice up there."

                      I should take a pic of ours ... it's above the fireplace as well!
                      And it's been going for about 7 or 8 years now (I fixed it once).
                      Then again ... we very very rarely have fires in the fireplace. :P

                          Re: Thermal Cutoff Resistor part

                          I just wanted to follow up about the thermal resistor part. I ended up installing the one from mouser https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...36191f2f78.pdf. I tested the TV extensively in my house for a couple weeks and had no issues. I sent it back to my friend, so we'll see how it does above the fireplace again. He didn't want to move the TV so I installed a little fan to hopefully keep things running cooler.

                          Anyway, thanks guys for helping me find a compatible part!

                              Hi There!
                              I'm trying to help my friend who owns a restaurant be just bought.
                              He has a very long LED strip running along all the walls and columns. The strip is attached facing down 2in above the floor, using a wall panel that ends in a metal rail that finishes the panel underneath
                              It's stuck using, I guess, the 2 sided tape that comes with the strip
                              The issue is that like 1/2 of the full length, including 1/2 one wall, another entire wall, and one column, flickers after 4 or 5 minutes ON. Particularly it flashes staying OFF most of the time and flashing ON for 1 tenth...

                              Hi

                              I am trying to repair an ancient Dell 2209WA Monitor which suddenly shut off with a pop sound. On investigation found that one of the fusible resistors had blown. Further investigation identified multiple components as faulty because of which the fusible resistor blew. Please refer the attached circuit diagram showing the components that were found to be damaged.

                              Can a resistor lose resistance after hot air?
                              by MidnightRoller
                              I am curious if a 0402 resistor could go from 43 ohm to 0. In electronics class and my experience a resistor can degrade and gain resistance all the way up to not being able to conduct at all. I have never heard of a resistor decreasing in resistance and becoming 0 ohm or a dead short… that's not the direction they fail… or so I thought.

                              I was attempting to remove a wson8 chip on an iMac motherboard and it required a lot of heat, on one side of the chip were 3 0402 resistors that were very close. I popped the chip out unintentionally out of the tweezers and sent those resistors...

                              I have a Dell Latitude 5570 that was randomly shutting down, on further investigation i found that the machine had been shutting down due to thermal events as noted by windows event viewer.
                              My investigations lead me to the dell diagnostics screen, where i found that there were two sensors out of range which had been causing the shutdowns, one of which was the GPU thermal sensor and the other the ambient sensor.

                              Laptop overheating after replacement thermal paste
                              by Veyron7887
                              Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?
