215°F Resettable High Limit Thermostat
A normally-closed high limit safety thermostat rated 16A at 250V that trips and shuts off the circuit if the unit overheats, then resets once temperatures drop back to a safe range. Uses a common M4 threaded mounting stud.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Trip temperature: 215°F
- Rating: 16A, 250V
- Contact type: normally closed
- Mounting: M4 threaded stud
INSTALLATION
A straightforward DIY or technician swap, but handle the mounting stud carefully, see Pro Tips.
PRO TIPS
- The M4 threaded stud is thin and can snap off if you over-tighten the mounting nut, thread it in hand-tight plus a light quarter-turn, not wrench-tight.
-
Thermal paste on the sensing head before final mounting fills microscopic surface imperfections and improves heat transfer between the switch and contact surface, especially important on pipe-mount applications where contact area is small. It's a heat-transfer aid, not an adhesive, so don't rely on it to hold the part in place.
