Abstract: Provided is a thermostat including a diaphragm arranged on a core body that is inserted into a base. The assembly is closed at the top by a metallic cover and at the bottom by a flat lid. The thermostat also includes the core body presenting a cylindrical shape and is provided with two radially opposing projections and a guide hole, with the guide hole centrally arranged to receive a pin in a slidably manner; and the base, in an monolithic body, including: two walls in the form of a cylindrical arc, having collars on their top portions and together defining a cradle for said core body; and sides and faces that are adjacent to the sides. Projecting from said faces are terminals for electrical connection. The short terminal is coupled to a contact blade for contact with the long terminal. The blade is actuated by the pin, which is in turn actuated by the diaphragm. The terminals and the blade are co-injected with the base.
