I see Maplins do a range of thermal fuses with different temperature settings. They say to not solder it in so I could use a tiny choc-block.
Can anyone suggest what temperature I should select, please? I'll probably get one in Colchester or Norwich Maplins next week.

Alternatively, are Thandar and I being over-cautious here and perhaps a 100mA fuse would be just as effective?
