Temperature Switches
Highest performance in miniature design: Microtherm’s reliable and powerful temperature switches are perfectly suited even for installation in tight spaces. They provide optimum overheating protection even under extreme conditions and in the smallest of spaces.
Temperature Sensors
Sensors of these series are used in the field of temperature measurement. The measured value determined by the sensor is used for overtemperature protection, to trigger functions or to display the measured temperature.
General information
Temperature sensors and thermistors (PTC, NTC, STS, PT1000, et cetera)
Temperature sensors of the YAM / EF1 type series are the PTC thermistor or the motor PTC, which are characterized by a sudden increase in resistance at a def. response temperature.
Temperature sensors of the NTC type series describe a negative characteristic curve for an increasing temperature. They are often used as a favourable basis for the temperature control of a device.
Sensors of the STS type series are characterized by a temperature curve which is very similar to the (already partially terminated) KTY sensors, and offer an alternative solution.
The wide field of PT sensors is characterized by a very precise temperature characteristic curve across a wide temperature range. These sensors are designed customer-specific with hardly any exceptions.

Application areas
Temperature fuses
The temperature fuses of the various series automatically open the circuit of the connected device when the rated switching temperature is exceeded and must be replaced after tripping.
Temp. range: 71 – 240°C
Current rating: up to 25A
Temp. range: 66 – 240°C
Current rating: up to 25A
Temp. range: 65 – 145°C
Nennstrom: up to 5 A
Temp. range: 65 – 150°C
Current rating: up to 3A/20A
General information
Thermal fuses
The temperature fuses of the various type series each have a melting blow-out element: either an organic melt pellet or a melting alloy. Thereby, the current load capacity is up to 25 A, and the maximum triggering temperature is up to 240°C.
We supply the fuses as individual elements, as well as in a customer-specific form.
When handling fuses during installation and use, the instructions and characteristics must be observed. An example of this is the maintenance of the holding temperature TH.
Temperature protection devices are used in household appliances, electrical (small) appliances, heaters, transformers and in the automotive sector.
