66F040-0180

The 66F040-0180 is a universal temperatureswitch designed for a wide range of temperature control and protection applications. It delivers accurate and reliable performance in conditions of extreme temperatures and hazardous environments. This temperature switch is a compact and cost-effective solution for temperature control and protection in industrial, commercial and residential applications.

The 66F040-0180 temperature switch operates as a thermostat, using heat from the surrounding environment to activate a set of contacts when the temperature reaches the preset threshold. When the temperature rises above the preset level, the contacts close, thereby activating whatever device or system is connected to the switch. Conversely, when the temperature drops below the preset level, the contacts open, interrupting the connection.

The 66F040-0180 temperature switch is a mechanical thermostat in that it relies on mechanical systems to detect changes in temperature and regulate the switch’s output. Its main components include a sensing element, which is made of metal alloys or a wire that detects changes in temperature, and a bimetallic plug, which is typically located in the center of the switch. The bimetallic plug is a set of two strips of dissimilar metals, arcing together in a drill or arc pattern, which bend to form an electrical connection when heated.

The 66F040-0180 temperature switch is designed with a wide operating range, from -25 to +225 degrees Fahrenheit. It comes with a protective housing to protect it from dust and water, as well as a snap switch for manual operation. It is also UL, CSA, and CE approved, meaning that it is designed to meet all applicable safety standards.

The 66F040-0180 temperature switch can be used in a variety of applications, such as controlling water temperature in hot water tanks and boilers, managing the temperature of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, controlling industrial ovens and heaters, and keeping temperatures in hazardous environments safe and within the necessary range.

The 66F040-0180 temperature switch is an effective and reliable solution for temperature control and protection in harsh environments. Its metal alloy sensing element and bimetallic plug provide an accurate and reliable performance, while its wide operating range and UL, CSA, and CE approval provide peace of mind that it is designed to meet all applicable safety standards.
