Thermostat normally closed
The thermostat is suitable for controlling or monitoring a freely selectable temperature within a preset temperature range. Typical applications are dry and steam irons, deep-fat fryers, waffle irons, mini-ovens, boilers, baby bottle warmers, contact grills etc. and wherever it is necessary to control the temperature of a surface. The temperature to be monitored may not exceed 260 °C due to the plastic spindle.
A bimetal strip is used as a sensing element. The thermostat 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.
- Small size
- High electrical load
- Various terminal types
- Plastic spindle, therefore lower temperature at the adjusting knob
- Freely selectable spindle length in 2 mm steps with various turning ranges
- Thermal response time can be adjusted according to the application
