RS PRO Bi-Metallic Thermostat, Closes at 82 °C, Maximum Operating Temperature 50 °C, Automatic Reset, 16 A Contact 222-8255

RS PRO 222-8255 Bi-Metallic Thermostat is a high-quality thermostatic switch engineered for precise temperature regulation in diverse electrical devices. It operates by utilizing a temperature-sensitive bimetallic disc that actuates thermally and electrically isolated contacts, which open upon reaching the designated snap temperature of 82 °C. Designed to close at this critical temperature point, it effectively manages temperature to prevent overheating and maintain optimum device performance.

This thermostat supports a maximum operating temperature of 50 °C and comes with an automatic reset feature, enhancing reliability and ease of use. The contact current rating of 16 A and voltage ratings of 250 V AC and DC, combined with a tab terminal type, ensure it fits a broad range of electrical systems safely and efficiently.

Its fixed mount configuration provides stable and secure installation. The compact 12.4 mm height allows for integration into appliances where space constraints exist, including coffee machines, smoke detectors, boilers, and heating systems. The robust build incorporates phenolic, PPS, or ceramic housings providing dustproof performance and durability.

Approved by internationally recognized standards such as ENEC17, UL/cUL, and CQC, this thermostat guarantees compliance and quality assurance. Its fast response time to temperature fluctuations due to low mass and compact size makes it highly effective for precise temperature control in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

Applications extend across sensing and instrumentation, HVAC systems, automotive and industrial controls, and computer peripherals. This thermostat plays a key role in protecting sensitive equipment by preventing temperature-induced failures through reliable, repeatable switching actions.

Closes at a precise temperature of 82 °C to ensure accurate thermal regulation. Maximum operating temperature of 50 °C suitable for a variety of applications. Features an automatic reset mechanism for reliable and continuous operation.

Rated for 16 A contact current with rated 250 V AC/DC voltage for versatile electrical compatibility. Robust fixed mount design for secure installation. Constructed with a bi-metallic disc serving as the temperature-sensitive actuator.
