1/2″ Automatic Reset Snap Disc Thermostats
Our 1/2″ automatic reset snap disc thermostats use a bi-metal 1/2″ disc for snap action, positive & instantaneous opening or closing of electric circuits. The 1/2″ auto reset snap disc thermostats have a smaller footprint allowing for a lower cost than our other automatic reset thermostats.
The 1/2″ auto reset thermostat can be specified for heating applications where the contacts break on temperature rise, or for cooling applicants where the contacts break on temperature fall.
We offer two different styles of of 1/2″ auto reset thermostats:
- Phenolic body (430 series) with a temperature range of 35°F to 350°F.
- Ceramic body (T24 series) for high temperature applications beyond 350°F.
CUSTOM OPTIONS
Designed & manufactured to meet requirements of original equipment manufacturers worldwide.
HIGH QUALITY
Senasys products are 100% tested before they leave our facilities.
CERTIFIED
Senasys products are UL/cUL Recognized.
MADE IN U.S.A.
Snap disc thermostats are designed & manufactured in Eau Claire, WI U.S.A.
Our 1/2″ automatic reset snap disc thermostats have a smaller footprint allowing for a lower cost. The thermostat can be specified for heating applications where the contacts break on temperature rise or for cooling applications where the contacts break on temperature fall. Our thermostats use a bi-metal disc that reacts to temperature changes and ‘snaps’ causing the circuit to open or close.
Since the bimetal disc used in the auto reset thermostat is thermally & electrically insulated from the current carrying parts of the thermostat, the disc reacts to the temperature of the controlled device or medium surrounding the disc. This eliminates chatters, false cycling & electrical interference.

The temperature range determines when the thermal switch will close, or engage the electrical circuit, and when it will automatically reset, or open. Many temperature ranges are available, or we can easily design a custom temperature range to suit your application.
If you require a hotter temperature of 350°F-450°F , our ceramic style 1/2″ thermostat switches (T24 series) will be best for your application. Learn more here.
Spacings of at least 1/8″ through air & 1/4″ over surface of insulating material are maintained between bare live parts & normally grounded parts, when installed with insulated mounting bracket. The thermostat without the insulated mounting bracket has a spacing of at least 1/16″ through air & over surface from bare live parts to normally grounded parts. Spacings of 1/32″ through air & 1/16″ over surface of insulating material are maintained between bare live parts of the same polarity of the different switch pole components except at contacts.
For a more economical solution, Senasys has built relationships with overseas suppliers to provide our customers thermostats at a lower cost, with the same high quality as our snap disc thermostats built in the U.S.A. Additionally, this has allowed us to expand our catalog offering to meet other application requirements, including:
- Ratings up to 25A@277VAC
- -20°F to 480°F (-30°C to 250°C) Temperature Range
- TUV Listed
