8AS258-SE

Snap Action, Limit Switches are small electrically operated devices commonly used to open and close circuits in electrical control panels. The 8AS258-SE is a type of snap action limit switch designed to detect the temperature of a system or object. The operating principle is based on the thermal expansion of a bimetallic strip, which reacts to changes in temperature by bending and causing a contact to open or close.

The 8AS258-SE is a single pole double throw (SPDT) device with an overall length of 52 mm and a width of 41 mm. The switch is made from an alloy of aluminum, copper and brass, which gives it excellent mechanical and electrical properties. It has two contact points, one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC). The switch is designed to open the contacts when the temperature reaches a set level and close them again when the temperature drops back down.

The 8AS258-SE can be used in a wide range of applications, such as in industrial ovens, exhaust systems, air conditioners and heating systems. It can also be used to trigger alarms or activate safety circuits when temperature thresholds are exceeded. The switch can be wired in parallel with other devices in a control panel and is often used to provide additional layers of protection against hazardous hot spot temperatures.

The 8AS258-SE is a cost-effective and reliable device for detecting temperature changes in environments where accuracy is essential. The switch is equipped with a special spring blade, which provides the sensitivity required to detect small changes in temperature. It also features a gold-plated terminal, which helps ensure corrosion resistance and a longer service life. The switch can handle temperatures ranging from -32C to 175C.

The 8AS258-SE is a robust and reliable device suitable for any type of environment or application. Thanks to its reliable design and durable construction, the switch is capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh working conditions. It is easy to install and can be used in conjunction with a range of other devices to increase its versatility. Thanks to its low cost and high reliability, the 8AS258-SE is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
