This type of contact has characteristically small switching differentials.
The contacts are gold-plated, and are especially suitable for switching low voltages and currents.
The switching points can lie between 5C and 140C (higher switching points on request), and the contacts can be implemented as make or break contacts.
The contact ratings are 8A/12V DC, 4A/24V DC or 6A/120V AC.
The switching differential for a slow-action contact is considerably smaller than for a snap-action contact.
When measured in a water bath, at a switching temperature of 40C, the reset temperature is about 1.5C lower.
The connecting cable entry is sealed, thus providing enclosure protection to IP67.
This level of protection can also be achieved by the encapsulated bimetal temperature switches with a snap-action contact.
These switches are universally applicable in machinery and plant engineering.
