<p>A temperature-dependent switch (10) comprises a housing (11), on which a first and a second external connection (17, 18) are provided, and a temperature-dependent switching mechanism (33, 29), which is arranged in the housing (11) and makes an electrically conductive connection between the first and the second external connection (17, 18) as a function of its temperature, wherein the switching mechanism (33, 29) has a spring part (33), which is electrically connected at its first end (37) to an external connection (17) and is fitted at its second end (36) with a moving contact part (32) which interacts with the second external connection (18), and a bimetallic part (29) which electrically disconnects the moving contact part (32) from the second external connection (18) as a function of its temperature. The housing (11) is closed on its upper side by an electrically conductive cover part (12) which is directly connected to the first external connection (17). The spring part (33) is firmly connected in an inseparable manner at its first end (37) to the cover part (12) (Figure 2).</p> |
