RS PRO Bimetal Thermostat Switch


Introducing the range of RS PRO Bimetal Thermostat Switches, ideal for regulating the temperature inside devices or objects that require temperature management like electrical appliances. The switch is designed with a temperature-sensitive bimetallic disc that is the actuator for the thermally and electrically isolated contacts which open when the ambient or surface temperature increases to the operating snap point of the metal disc.

Features and Benefits:


  • This RS PRO bimetallic thermal control switch is designed for temperature control and regulation in a wide range of electrical products like coffee machines, smoke detectors, heating systems, boilers and much more

  • Each thermostat is inch (12.4 mm) in height, making it a compatible replacement part for a wide range of appliances or for new installations and designs that require temperature sensors

  • These snap-action thermostats are available in automatic or manual reset options, phenolic, PPS or ceramic housings which offer dustproof performance, and a variety of mounting brackets and terminal options

  • In addition to this, the switches offer a rapid response time to temperature changes due to the low mass of the disc and the compact size of the actual thermostat switch

  • Available as normally closed and normally open types, with thermally and electrically isolated contacts

  • RoHS, REACH, UL/cUL and ENEC17 approved

Applications:


Thermostat sensors or switches are mechanisms that are designed to offer protection from electrical devices when the temperature increases or from overheating and are widely used as a method of temperature control and management. There are several different switch variations that activate a valve or thermal switch, but the most common method is by allowing the contacts of the switch to open when the ambient or surface temperature increases and reaches the snap point of the switch. Thermostatic switches are used in a wide variety of appliances like water heaters, radiators, welders, smoke detectors and much more, and are commonly found in these industries:
  • Sensing and instrumentation

  • HVAC

  • Automotive and industrial

  • Computers and computer peripherals
