    摘要: A casing for a temperature-dependent switch that switches in a temperature-dependent manner between a closed state, in which the switch establishes an electrically conductive connection between first and second external terminals, and an open state, in which the switch disconnects the electrically conductive connection. The casing comprises: a first casing part made of metal; a second casing part made of metal connected to the first casing part via a hermetically sealing, material-locking connection comprising an electrically insulating connection material; a receptacle for receiving the temperature-dependent switch, wherein the receptacle is at least partially surrounded by the first and second casing parts; a first connection lead led through the electrically insulating connection material for electrical connection to the first external terminal; and a second connection lead led through the electrically insulating connection material for electrical connection to the second external terminal.

    摘要: A temperature-dependent switch having a first external terminal, a second external terminal and a temperature-dependent switching mechanism. The temperature-dependent switching mechanism comprises a temperature-dependent switching element which is configured to change its geometric shape as a function of its temperature in order to switch the switching mechanism between a closed position, in which the switching mechanism establishes an electrically conductive connection between the first external terminal and the second external terminal, and an open position, in which the switching mechanism disconnects the electrically conductive connection. The temperature-dependent switching mechanism comprises a spring element which is permanently electrically and mechanically connected in series to the temperature-dependent switching element. The temperature-dependent switching mechanism also comprises a connecting component, which is arranged between the spring element and the temperature-dependent switching element and is attached to the spring element and the temperature-dependent switching element.

    摘要: A temperature-dependent switch, comprising a temperature-dependent switching mechanism having a switching mechanism unit, and having a switching mechanism housing, in which the switching mechanism unit is arranged and held captively therein, wherein the switching mechanism housing comprises a first base body composed of electrically conductive material. The temperature-dependent switch furthermore comprises a switch housing having a second base body composed of electrically insulating material, in which the switching mechanism housing is arranged and held captively therein, wherein the switch housing comprises a stationary contact part. The first base body of the switching mechanism housing surrounds the switching mechanism unit from a first housing side, a second housing side opposite the first housing side, and a housing circumferential side extending between and transversely to the first and the second housing sides, and on the first housing side comprises an opening through which a movable contact part of the switching mechanism unit interacts with the stationary contact part. The second base body of the switch housing surrounds the first housing side and the circumferential housing side of the switching mechanism housing.

    摘要: A thermally-sensitive cantilever sensor switch with a bimorph structure based on phononic cantilever structure. Phononic structure increases switch sensitivity to incident absorbed radiation. In embodiments the zero power switch is sensitive to ambient temperature and/or incident absorbed radiation. In embodiments, multiple switches are configured within a spectrometer to provide a means of monitoring toxic components within a media of interest such as smokestake effluents and hot emitters. The switch may be structured with sensitivity to incident radiation within wavelength bands ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to MHz.

    摘要: An embodiment of an electric heating element is disclosed, including an electrically resistive inner heating element, an electrically resistive outer heating element, and a thermostat positioned underneath a centrally-positioned medallion and along a cold leg of the inner heating element. The thermostat is configured to selectively allow electrical current to be delivered to the inner heating element while maximum electrical current, for example, continues to be provided to the outer heating element. The thermostat cycles the electrical current on and off when detecting maximum and minimum desired temperatures radiated from the electric heating element. The inner heating element has a pair of cold legs that extend parallel to a pair of cold legs of the outer heating element, some or all of which may be supported by a terminal bracket.
