Bimetal Thermostats

Bimetal Thermostats The Honeywell bimetal thermostat product line consists of Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) hermetic and non-hermetic thermostats, including low-silhouette, logic level, auto reset, manual reset, one-shot, and subminiature thermostats and thermal switches. These products are also defined by their ability to reliably maintain precision temperature tolerances or high amperage electrical loads. They provide temperature control and overtemperature protection for the appliance, office automation, industrial, commercial aircraft and medical equipment industries.

Bimetal thermostats are snap-action devices designed to operate in extreme conditions, such as exposure to hazardous substances, dust particles and liquid immersion. Contacts are thermally and electrically isolated. Dust-proof performance is achieved by using a ceramic or phenolic base protected by a metal enclosure. A variety of custom configurations are available which provide environmental protection.
