<p>A temperature responsive device such as a thermostat, comprises an insulator having extending in a groove along its entire length electrical connectors, which extend outwardly from opposite ends of the groove, and contact carriers having switching contacts, one contact carrier being fixed and having a predetermined bending point and the other being movable under the control of a transmission pin which extends through the insulator from a bimetallic disc. The disc is disposed in a circular recess in the insulator on the opposite surface to that of the groove, and is retained by a heat conductive base plate secured by lugs to the insulator. A plurality of devices may be provided on a single, common, baseplate. The arrangement facilitates fully automatic manufacture and adjustment of the devices.</p> |
