Thermostat "Smarty Plus"
The thermostat 161 481 for high temperatures is suitable for controlling or monitoring a fixed temperature. Typical applications are e.g. electric hotplates, domestic electric ranges and vehicle heaters.
A bimetal disc is used as a temperature sensing element. The disc is pressed directly against the mounting plate and can therefore react quickly to changes in temperature. As soon as the preset temperature is reached, the bimetal disc operates and opens the electrical contacts. On cooling the discs snap back into the original position, closing the circuit again.
The shape of the ceramic housing protects the switching mechanism against being touched.
The thermostat is also available with a ceramic cover which is fixed by means of a clip.
