HONEYWELL 2455RC-9100-373

The 2455RC-9100-373 is a commercial Bimetal Thermostat with ceramic base and silver alloy contact. It can provide either temperature control or over-temperature protection by breaking electrical contact when a specified temperature is reached. Single pole, single throw, snap-acting, non-adjustable thermostat which may be used in applications such as industrial and electrical equipment. A temperature-sensitive bimetal disc, electrically and thermally isolated from the switch is used to actuate the normally-closed contacts. Contacts open when surface or ambient temperatures increase to the operating set point of the calibrated metal disc. The entire switch is enclosed in a ceramic housing, the bimetal disc is retained by a metal heat-conducting end cap. Due to the small size of this unit and the inherently low mass of the bimetal snap-action disc, response of this thermostat to temperature changes is extremely rapid.
