MICROTHERM Thermal Switch, NC, 200°C, Flange Mount

The MICROTHERM Thermal Switch is a precision-engineered, normally closed (NC) thermal protection device. Designed for reliable operation, it activates at a fixed switching temperature of 200°C. Upon cooling, it automatically resets at approximately 160°C, ensuring equipment is protected from overheating and can resume normal function once a safe temperature is reached. This switch is an essential component for maintaining the safety and longevity of electrical appliances and machinery.

Featuring a robust flange mount sensor housing, it is designed for secure and straightforward installation. The quick-connect sensor terminals allow for easy and tool-free wiring, simplifying the integration process into various systems and helping to reduce installation time. The compact design, with dimensions of just 22mm in width, 33mm in height, and a depth of 2mm, makes it suitable for applications where space is at a premium.

Reliable Electrical Performance

Built to handle demanding electrical loads, this switch from the 52N Series boasts a robust contact rating of 125VAC/15A or 250VAC/10A. This capability makes it suitable for controlling motors, heating elements, and other high-current components in a variety of industrial and domestic settings. The normally closed configuration means the circuit is complete under normal conditions, breaking only when the temperature threshold is exceeded, which is ideal for fail-safe cut-off applications.

Applications

This thermal switch is a versatile solution for over-temperature protection. It is commonly used in electric motors, transformers, power supplies, and heating appliances to prevent damage from excessive heat. Its reliable performance and durable construction ensure consistent protection, giving engineers and technicians confidence in the safety of their electrical designs and installations.
