8 Pin Dip Style Subminiature Thermostat

8 Pin Dip Style Subminiature Thermostat


The product is a RoHS compliant, positive snap action, single pole / single throw, a subminiature bimetallic thermostat that provides accurate and reliable sensing and switching in a single device. The thermostat dimensionally conforms to the international product package standard 8-pin DIP (N8A Dual Inline Package).

The product is ideally suited for use on printed circuit boards. Its size and shape conserves space on crowded PC boards and can be installed using auto-insertion equipment. The device is sealed to withstand wave soldering and board washing operations.
