Abstract (en)

A switch (10) has a housing (11) which houses a temperature-dependent switching mechanism (12) and on which a first and a second counter-contact (16, 19) for the switching mechanism (12) are arranged, with the switching mechanism (12) comprising an electrically conductive spring part (31) which carries a movable contact part (32) and a bimetallic snap-action disc (34), which bimetallic snap-action disc (34) is unrestricted below its response temperature, with the spring part (31) making an electrically conductive connection via the contact part (32) between the two countercontacts (16, 19) when the switching mechanism (12) is below the response temperature, with a damping part (35, 37) being arranged between the bimetallic snap-action disc (34) and the spring part (31).
