36T Manual Reset Bimetal Control

The 36T manual reset 1/2'' bimetal control from Therm-O-Disc® offers proven reliability in a compact, versatile, cost-effective design. The snap action of the bimetal disc provides high-speed contact separation resulting in excellent life characteristics at electrical loads up to 15 amps at 120VAC and 16 amps at 250VAC. The non trip free design is provided with normally closed contacts. When the contacts have opened the ambient temperature must drop before it can be reset. The global agency recognition of the 36T enables use in a wide range of applications including gas furnaces, electric heaters, water heaters, and dishwashers.
