How to solder a 70 °C (158 °F) thermal fuse

#1 Post by Deion Adel » 09 May 2021, 22:47

For my DMX project (schematics is not important), I soldered this thermal fuse which has just two leads (see picture below).

The fuse doesn't work (meaning it does not conduct electricity) ... which of course is logical since my soldering station has a minimum temperature of 200 °C (392 °F) (although I soldered it with 350 °C (662 °F), forgetting about this).

But how should I solder this component?
