17AMG Thermal Protector prevents overheating.The design of the 17AMG allows for economical and reliable protection in a wide range of applications. It is a miniature, snap-acting,thermally operated device that is a proven performer in protection technology. Design and operating principles: Current flows through your lead connection into the can crimp terminal,through the can member,bimetal disc and mating contacts,The current completes its path by exiting through the plate member and the integral plate crimp terminal to your lead connection. As the temperature rises,the heat is transferred to the bimetal disc.The disc then snaps open at the factory-calibrated opening temperature thus breaking the current path. The bimetal disc snaps closed when the reset temperature level is achieved.Each 17AMG temperature rating has a bimetal disc specifically manufacture for that rating.Each device is then calibrated and checked for opening temperature.This results in optimum snap-acting open and reset characteristics necessary to achieve consistent performance over the required cycle life. Application: Shaded pole Motor,Permanent split capacitor motor,Fluorescent lighting ballasts,HIDballasts,Transformer,Recessed lighting fixtures,Battery packs Vacuum cleaners,Automotive accessory motors ,Solenoids.
