A temperature-dependent switching mechanism for a temperature-dependent switch (10) having a housing (11) which accommodates the switching mechanism (25) and which comprises an upper part (14) with a first external connection (19) and a lower part (12) with a second external connection (23), wherein a first contact area (18) connected to the first external connection (19) is provided on an inner side (16) of the upper part (14) and a second contact area (22) connected to the second external connection (23) is provided on an inner side (21) of the lower part (12), comprises a bimetallic snap-action disc (31) and a spring snap-action disc (26), on which is provided a bearing region on which a movable contact part (29) is captively held, wherein the contact part (29) interacts with the first contact area (18) and the spring snap-action disc (26) interacts with the second contact area (22), and wherein the bimetallic snap-action disc (31) interacts with the spring snap-action disc (26) in such a way that it lifts the movable contact part (29) off from the first contact area (18) depending on its temperature. In this case, the bimetallic snap-action disc (31) is captively held with play on the contact part (29) (Figure 1). |
