Appliance Applications
Many of our thermostats are used in what we consider as "small" or personal
care appliance applications. Models listed under this section have maximum
contact ratings of up to 20 amps/120 volts AC and 10 amps/240 AC. All
current loads are resistive. Suggested Models for: Appliance Thermostats
Automotive Applications
The thermal controls used for this application group consist of use of
our products by automotive manufacturers, their subcontractors, or in
aftermarket applications designed for use in motor vehicles. Suggested Models for: Automotive Thermal Controls
Battery Pack Applications
This application group refers to rechargeable battery packs for all portable
power applications. The thermal controls for this group either controls
the charge rate of the battery packs or limits the current under short
circuit conditions. Suggested Models for: Battery Pack Protectors and Thermal Controls
Electronics Applications
This category consists of variety of applications. Most of our thermal
controls used in these applications protect an overheat condition of a
circuit board. Suggested Models for: Electronic Thermal Controls
Heating Pads and Blankets
We define this application group as end products that the primary design
function is to provide generation of heat for comfort purposes. Heating
Pads and Blankets fall into this category. Our thermal controls are used
to limit or regulate the temperature of these applications. Suggested Models for: Heating Pad and Blanket Thermostats
Heater Applications
This group includes applications such as cartridge heaters, disc-type
heaters, foil and silicone heaters. These are generally OEM products that
are part of the "Bigger Picture," rather than stand-alone items.

Lighting Applications
This category covers use of our thermal controls in all type of lighting
applications. This includes ballasts, recessed lights, and transformers
used in all types of lighting. Suggested Models for: Lighting Thermal Controls
Motor Applications
This category covers the use of our thermal controls in all types of motor
applications. Our devices are used in AC and DC motors that range from
sub-fractional HP and above. Suggested Models for: Motor Protectors and Thermal Controls
Temperature Sensor Applications
This category covers a wide variety of applications. Our controls are
used to either monitor the temperature of a device, regulate the temperature
of a device, or limit the temperature of a device. The thermal control
usually does not carry the full current load in these applications. Suggested Models for: Temperature Sensor Thermal Controls
Transformer Applications
Thermal controls in this category are used for the protection of the primary
or secondary of a transformer coil or power supply. These controls normally
operate on a combination of the increase in temperature and current in
the application. Suggested Models for: Transformer Protectors and Thermal Controls |
