I know in many cases, the leads of a thermal fuse are crimped to the wires, because the heat may melt the solder, or because improper soldering could trip the thermal fuse.
I am working on my aunt's portable cooker. The fuse is rated at 142 degrees C, far too low to be worried about solder melting. If I use proper heatsinking and solder it, would it be acceptable? Am I overlooking something?
The thermal fuse and all wiring leading to it are covered in a fiberglass like covering, with a metal clamp around the fuse itself (encased in the tube) screwed to a bracket.
