The thermostat with integrated thermal link is suitable for controlling or monitoring a freely selectable temperature within a preset temperature range. Typical applications are dry and steam irons and wherever appliances are left on unsupervised or where no separate thermal link is prescribed.

A bimetal strip is used as a sensing element, the thermal link has a melt solder insert. The thermostat with integrated thermal link is mounted directly onto the heating surface and can therefore react quickly to changes in temperature. As soon as the preset temperature is reached, the snap action contact opens the circuit. When the temperature has dropped by the differential the contact automatically closes the circuit again. If there is an unforeseen failure, the solder insert in the thermal link melts at the preset temperature and the current is interrupted permanently.

The thermostat is also available with a plastic spindle (type 141 301.3) which leads to a lower temperature at the operating knob. For this version the maximum temperature at the bimetal is limited to 250 °C, the maximum actuation temperature for the thermal link is 298 -10 °C.

• Small size
• High electrical load
• Easy mounting as thermostat and thermal link are fixed with a single screw
• Various terminal types
• Spindle length freely selectable with various turning ranges
• Thermal response time of the thermostat and actuation temperature for the thermal link can be adjusted to suit the application
