AN ELECTRIC THERMOSTAT SWITCH. IT INCORPORATES A BI-METAL DISC WHICH IS RESPONSIVE TO TEMPERATURE CHANGE. THE BI-METAL CHANGES SHAPE (SNAPS) AT A DEFINED TEMPERATURE PRESET IN THE FACTORY. THE MOTION IS TRANSMITTED VIA A PUSH ROD WHICH OPENS ELECTRICAL CONTACTS, BREAKING AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. IT CONTAINS 1 BILETAL DISC THAT NORMALLY USED TO TRIGGER WHEN A DEVICE IS SWITCHED ON WITHOUT WATER AND THEREFORE THE MAXIMUM OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF 160C TO ALLOW FOR ELEMENT TEMPERATURE ABOVE THAT BOILING WATER. THE MAXIMUM CURRENT RATING IS 13 AMPS.
