Encapsulated Thermostats for Electronics from Cantherm.

The CANTHERM F11-E06 has been designed to protect today's technology and meet the requirements of tomorrow's innovations. The F11 snap action bimetallic element will respond rapidly and accurately to changes in the temperature of the surface to which it is mounted or the air temperature in an enclosure. The single pole, single throw contacts can be configured as either normally open or normally closed, operating on rise in temperature. The average automatic reset will occur at a temperature approximately 20 - 25 deg. C below the calibrated set point.

The housing has been designed for very demanding conditions such as high continuous temperatures and high voltage electrical isolation. The G410 housing is UL94-V-0 rated and has a UL long term temperature index of 200 / 220 deg.C plus improved thermal conductivity and reduced thermal expansion. All of these advances produce results which were previously not attainable with conventional compounds.

ADVANTAGES:

The miniature size, high switching capability and versatility of its contacts make the JEDEC TO-220 compatible device ideal for printed circuit board mounting. The F11-E06 is epoxy sealed to withstand wave soldering and board washing operations

APPLICATIONS:

The F11-E06 is ideal to sense the temperature of a surface or of stagnant air in an enclosure and can be supplied for mounting on a printed circuit board or with flexible wire leads for remote installation. Its high temperature resistance and high dielectric strength make it the favored device for protecting heatsinks. Heat sensitive semiconductors and other valuable equipment can be saved from thermal damage by shutting down the power or simply turning on a fan.

DESCRIPTION:

The CANTHERM F11-E06 has been designed to protect today's technology and meet the requirements of tomorrow's innovations. The F11 snap action bimetallic element will respond rapidly and accurately to changes in the temperature of the surface to which it is mounted or the air temperature in an enclosure. The single pole, single throw contacts can be configured as either normally open or normally closed, operating on rise in temperature. The average automatic reset will occur at a temperature approximately 20 - 25°C below the calibrated set point. The housing has been designed for demanding conditions such as high continuous temperatures and high voltage electrical isolation. The "New" PC version is now available with TO-220 style stamped lead-frame leads and are shipped in a 50 piece plastic magazine for ease of insertion and handling.

OPERATING TEMPERATURES:

The F11-E06 is available from 65°C to 160°C with either normally closed or normally open contacts. Increments are 5°C and standard tolerance is ±5°C.

CURRENT SENSIVITY:

The thermostats are not current sensitive at rated currents. At loads above the rated values, up to maximum loading there is self-heating of the current carrying contacts.

CONNECTIONS:

The F11-E06 is available for PC board mount or a variety of flexible wire leads. Standard leads are 6", 24 AWG UL3266 Black up to 125°C and UL1180 Teflon up to the maximum temperature. ADD "-PC" to the part number for solid pins or specify flexible lead type. Other wire types, gauges and lead lengths available upon request.

About CANTERM:

Originally founded and incorporated as Multi-State Devices Ltd. to design and market a unique type of NTC thermistor with avalanche characteristics, now known as the Moxie, the company lacked the resources necessary to flourish and was subsequently sold. Since the acquisition by Microtherm GmbH in 1978, the entire Microtherm thermostat line was taken on and promoted. After several years of distributing the Microtherm thermostats manufactured in Germany, CANTHERM now produces a wide variety of snap-action, temperature limiting, bimetallic thermostats according to Microtherm designs for a wide variety of applications. Devices are available for the thermal protection of electric motors and transformers, medical devices, temperature sensitive electronics, power supplies, or anywhere that heat could become a problem.

Cantherm and Microtherm are geared for a global market with 7 manufacturing plants and an excess of 30 sales offices around the world. With free global trade on the horizon, we are preparing products that will be acceptable anywhere in the world. We presently have agency approvals, under the name of Microtherm GmbH, for all of our products with UL, CSA, VDE, BEAB and several other agencies and also hold CB certificates according to IEC requirements and EN 60730 specification. All Microtherm companies are ISO 9000 accredited and many including Cantherm, have begun or completed the upgrade to ISO 9001-2000.

Cantherm is a self-sufficient, privately held profit center which is part of the Microtherm group manufacturing MIC products using the same German made components which are distributed to all of our factories. Because of this close affiliation we have access to a manufacturing capabilities of the entire group which exceeds 100 million units per year. Should any customer requirement exceed our capabilities, we would be able to draw on the extensive resources and over 50 years of experience within the group for assistance in such disciplines as Engineering and Design, manufacturing of sub-assemblies or finished goods, testing and many more.

We at Cantherm are confident that we will be capable of delivering a product which will satisfy our customers expectations in every way and commit our resources to providing prompt deliveries of consistently high quality products at a competitive price.
