Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0863527A2] The temperature dependent switch has a bimetallic disc (31) that is retained within a formed ring (14) that is moulded into a plastic body (17). A bridging contact (29) is fixed to the centre of the disc and engages the fixed contacts (26,27) in one position. The contacts are fixed to contact carriers (24,25) that are metal pressings that are shaped to extend beyond the housing and provide a unit for external connection.
