There are many different basic types of what is generally classified as thermal control devices. Each type is designed to react to changes in temperature or current to make or break an electrical circuit. The basic types of thermal controls include: Read more...

The ambient environment surrounding a thermal control can have a big effect on how the device operates. No two application environments are exactly alike, even though the applications may share a similar function. The materials used for an appliance as well as many other design considerations vary from product to product. Read more...

Our purpose in this How-To Guide to Thermal Controls is twofold: (1) We want to help you understand the type of applications where bimetallic devices work best. (2) If you are involved in one of these applications, we want to help you do it better. Read more...
