Bimetal Temperature Switch

Technical Data

Fitting Enclosure protection brass or stainless steel,screw-in spigot, similar to DIN 3852, Form A, for sealing by a sealing ring or a seal with a sealing lip Standard: IP52code 568/code 580: IP65 Switching temperature 40to 140°C; steps 5°C Reset temperature 15to 30K below the switching temperature Switching point accuracy for switching temp. up to 130°C : ± 5°Cabove 130°C : ±10°C,temperature changing at a rate of 1°C per minute Vibration resistance 13g (vibration along thecentral axis at a frequency of 45Hz and an amplitude of ±1.6mm) Time response t

The bimetal temperature switch is a universally applicable electromechanical device with a fixed switching temperature. It is used, for instance, in temperature monitoring, control and signaling in cooling or heating systems as well as in compressors and motors.The temperature switch can also be usedas a temperature controller, to a limited extent.The advantages for you:

0.9 response approx. 3½ minutes, measured in agitated oil bath; brass fitting,G1/2 A Electrical contactConnection

IP52 or IP65 protection

flat (faston) connectors A 6.3-0.8 to DIN 46244 or connecting cable with Pg7screw gland; cable diameter approx. 5.5mm; conductor cross-section 0.75mm

easy mounting

Contact rating 5A, 30V DC or 10(10)A, 230V AC,
2 or 15(13.5)A, 115V AC ;maximum current 10A or plugconnector for cable connection to DIN 43650, Pg9; cable diameter 6 - 8mm; maximum current 10A; ground connection not used

switching capability up to 2.5kVA

Contact resistance <3m Dielectric strength 1500V AC/1minuteIf the bimetal temperature switch is operated off a voltageabove 50V, then the fitting must be grounded by a protective earth (PE) as per the VDE or corresponding national regula- tions.
