In the case of an external temperature input, the double contact system of the switch, and thus the circuit of the application is opened or closed. The heat transfer is performed from all sides onto the housing of the switch by means of convection, or direct heat conduction. These switches are universally applicable through their design, their wide range of performance, and their diverse range of designs: as a protective switch, sensor, controller. Especially applications in the area of temperature sensors with low voltage and signal currents require gold plated contacts. Beside the standard counters in single implementation the protectors are also offered in twin and triplet configuration. ## **Applications** - Motors - Transformers - Coils - Electronics, sensors ## **Features** - Non-sensitive to current - High current rating up to 30 A - Manifold executions - Special low voltage execution - Process automation ## **Technical data** |**Technical data**||| |---|---|---| |**Type ratings**|**Control**|| ||**MCPA/MCPE**|| |Version|normallyclosed|| |Rated current at 250 V 50/60 Hz( power factor 0.95 / 0.6)|10A / 6A|13A / 6A| |Switchingcycles under rated current|10,000|1,000| |max. current under failure conditions at 250 V 50/60 Hz
