  • TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT SWITCH COMPRISING A SNAP-ACTION DISC CLAMPED IN AT THE RIM
    Publication number: 20150061818
    Abstract: A temperature-dependent switch arranged with a housing has a temperature-dependent switching mechanism comprising a snap-action disc, on which at least one outer contact region and at least one inner contact region are provided. A movable contact part held on the inner contact region interacts with a first contact surface connected to a first external connection on an upper part of the housing. The at least one outer contact region is connected at least in sections permanently to a second contact surface connected to a second external connection on a lower part of the housing. The snap-action disc lifts off the movable contact part from the first contact surface depending on the temperature of the switching mechanism. The snap-action disc has at least one compensation section between the at least one outer contact region and the at least one inner contact region.
