Approvals: VDE, CB (European Accreditation CB Scheme)
Application:
The e6 Thermal Protector is used for overheating protection in electrical equipment such as motors, heaters, and transformers. It is designed to handle high current loads despite its compact size and can be installed in windings due to its pressure and impregnation resistance.
Construction:
The switch features a high-capacity contact mechanism with a freely moving bimetallic disc. An additional spring disc ensures constant contact pressure until the switching temperature is reached. The e6 version has an epoxy coating for optimal thermal transfer, eliminating the need for additional base insulation by the customer.
Function:
Upon reaching the rated switching temperature, the bimetallic disc snaps open the contacts. Once cooled to the resetting temperature, the disc resets, reclosing the contacts.
Features:
- Strong power density with high current capacity in a small design.
- Quick response sensitivity due to small protector mass and metal housing.
- Excellent long-term performance with instantaneous switching and fine silver contacts.
- Very short bouncing times (< 1 ms).
- Temperature resistance through high-temperature materials.
Ordering Information:
The e6 Thermal Protector is available with white and yellow lead wires. Minimum order quantity is 5,000 pieces, and it must be ordered directly from Thermik.

Catalog excerpts

Thermal Protector Type e6-1

Thermal Protectors (TP) of version e1 with normally closed contacts are standard versions, utilised for overheating protection of all kinds of electrical equipments or devices, e. g. for electric motors, heaters and transformers. These TPs characterize their ability to tolerate higher current load in spite of their small design. Further to this, they can be installed into the windings because they are pressure- and impregnation resistant. > These switches are equipped with a high capacity contact mechanism, wherein the bimetallic disc can move freely, without the current flowing through it. An additional spring disc maintains constant contact pressure until reaching its switching temperature. The version e6 has an epoxy coating for best thermal transfer to the housing. Therefore when fitting ֖ the base insulation of the switch is provided and does not need to be done by the customer. Onto the blue coloured insulation, the manufacturer logo, type, nominal switching temperature with its tolerance is marked. > Durchmesser d 10,5 mm Bauhhe h 6,5 mm mittlere Abmae If, in case of overheating, the rated switching temperature of the bimetallic disc is reached, it suddenly snaps over to open the contacts. After cooling down to the resetting temperature, the bimetallic disc resets and causes the contacts to reclose. > Strong power density : strong currents in small types of construction Quick response sensitivity : featured by small protector mass and the metal-housing Excellent long term performance : due to instantaneous switching, fine silver contacts, constant contact resistance and to electrically as well as mechanically unstrained bimetallic disc, reproducible switching temperature values Very short bouncing times : < 1 ms Instantaneous switching : with constant contact pressure over the whole temperature range Temperature resistance : by use of high temperature resistant materials and components > Thermik Ger柤tebau GmbH Im Altgefդll 8 D-75181 Pforzheim Օ Tel.: 072 31 / 60 04 -0 Telefax: 07231 / 60 04 -100 size="-2">
