SEALED THERMOSTAT

摘要

A sealed thermostat includes a body, electrical leads extending from the body for electrically connecting the thermostat to a system, a sheath sized to encapsulate the body and having a wall terminating at an open end, the sheath being disposed around the body with at least one of the electrical leads extending from the open end, and a sealant disposed in the open end around at least one electrical lead and between at least one electrical lead and the wall, thereby sealing the body within the sheath. The sealant and sheath substantially completely isolate the body from gasses capable of being ignited by an arc within the body.
