Dewalt 5140179-39 Overload Protector

Product Description

The DEWALT 5140179-39 is an overload protector designed to safeguard electric motors and power tool components from damage caused by excessive current draw. When a motor pulls more amperage than it is rated for, the overload protector interrupts the circuit before heat and current buildup can degrade windings or other internal components. This part is typically serviced by electricians, power tool repair technicians, and equipment maintenance professionals working on DEWALT power tools or compressors.

This overload protector is used in applications where motor protection is required as part of the tool or equipment's electrical safety system. It is a direct replacement component intended for DEWALT equipment needing an OEM-spec overload protector. Installations are common in shop, jobsite, and light industrial environments where tools operate under variable load conditions.

Key Features

• Interrupts the circuit automatically when current exceeds safe operating limits
• OEM replacement part sourced directly from DEWALT
• Designed to protect motor windings and internal electrical components from thermal and current damage
• Restores original equipment protection functionality when replacing a failed unit

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified power tool repair technician or licensed electrician. Always disconnect the tool or equipment from its power source and allow any stored pressure to fully release before beginning service. Consult the equipment's service manual for component location and mounting orientation. Replacement of internal electrical protection components may be subject to local electrical codes.
