摘要 |
The invention relates to a thermally activated safety switch (1) for safeguarding a consumer (4) of a power supply network of a vehicle, comprising a switch housing (5) in a temperature-independent switching unit (6), which subject to the temperature thereof establishes an electrically conductive connection between two external terminals (15a, 15b) fed out of the switch housing (5), wherein the external terminals (15a, 15b) are fed out at opposite housing sides of the switch housing (5). On the one hand, the external terminals (15a, 15b) are provided for an electrical and mechanical terminal connection (16a, 16b) to the cable connection ends (17a, 17b) of a consumer (4) to be protected, and on the other hand to a cable portion (3a, 3b) leading to an on-board power supply electronics (2), and are configured accordingly. |
