RS PRO Bi-Metallic Thermostat, Closes at -20 °C, +180 °C Max, Manual Reset, 16 A, Fixed Mount 222-8262

RS PRO 222-8262 Bi-Metallic Thermostat is an industrial-grade thermostatic switch designed for controlling and regulating temperature within various electrical devices. It functions by utilizing a temperature-sensitive bimetallic disc that actuates thermally and electrically isolated contacts. As the ambient or surface temperature increases to the snap point, the thermostat closes at -20 °C and can operate up to a maximum of +180 °C, offering a manual reset for safety and control.

With a compact height of approximately 12.4 mm (½ inch), this thermostat is a suitable replacement part across numerous appliance models and new design applications requiring precise thermal sensing. The switch supports a contact current rating of 16 A with AC and DC capability at 250 V, and it utilizes tab terminals for robust and reliable connections.

The fixed mount construction provides stable installation, making it well-suited to environments where secure fixture is essential. It is RoHS and REACH compliant and has accrued approvals from key certification bodies including ENEC17, CQC, and UL/cUL, ensuring adherence to strict quality and safety standards.

Applications for this thermostat include temperature regulation in coffee machines, smoke detectors, heating systems, boilers, and other industrial or commercial appliances that rely on temperature sensing for safe operation. It is widely used in industrial automation, HVAC systems, automotive controls, and instrumentation technologies.

Operates within a temperature range from -20 °C to +180 °C. Manual reset type ensures controlled temperature management. Supports 16 A contact current at both 250 V AC and DC. Bi-metallic disc actuator provides rapid response to temperature changes.
