CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH A TEMPERATURE DEPENDING CHANGE MECHANISM

摘要

The switch has a housing (12) for the temp. dependent switching mechanism (11) with a first housing part (15) with a first electrode (24) on its inner floor and connected to a first external connection. A second housing part (22) connected to the first part contains a second electrode (20) connected to the second external connection. The switch mechanism makes an electrical connection between the electrodes depending on its temp. A parallel resistance (33) in form of a PTC module is connected geometrically and electrically between the two electrodes in the housing.
