Thermostat "Smarty High Speed"
The thermostat 161 501 is suitable for controlling or monitoring a fixed temperature. The open baseplate makes it particularly suitable where a fast reaction to high rates of temperature change is necessary. Typical applications are e.g. printed heating elements (thick film technology) or high performance heaters in domestic appliances.
A bimetal disc is used as a temperature sensing element. Through the open baseplate, the disc is in direct mechanical and thermal contact with the heater, enabling it to react very quickly to changes in temperature. The thermostat must be pressed tightly onto the surface to be monitored. As soon as the preset temperature is reached, the bimetal disc operates and opens the electrical contacts. On cooling the disc snaps back into the original position, closing the circuit again.
