Temperature protection device for use in an electrical power circuit for protecting said electrical power circuit against heating, comprising a first contact element and a second contact element, which are connected to one another by the ends thereof, and are designed in such a way that the ends of said first and said second contact elements that are connected to one another separate from one another when a limit temperature is exceeded because of a mechanical pretension between the two ends, thereby interrupting the electrical circuit, wherein at least the ends of the contact elements have a material with a higher recrystallization temperature than pure copper. |
