3/4″ Auto Reset Snap Disc Thermostats

Our 3/4″ automatic reset thermostat switch (2511 series) is great for unique applications which require a faster response time or a lower contact resistance.

These robust 3/4″ Snap Disc Thermostat Switches can be used in high current applications; carrying up to 25 amps at 240VAC, for over 100,000 cycles (30 Amps at 12VDC for 30,000 cycles). These switches are available in a single-pole, single-throw device.

A 3/4″ bimetal snap disc at the heart of our thermostat is set to a precise temperature range within 0-350°F (-18-176°C). The temperature range determines when the thermal switch will close, or engage the electrical circuit, and when it will automatically reset, or open.

For low current and voltage applications gold contacts are available. These provide lower contact resistance and provide better performance for electronic duty loads. With gold contacts this switch becomes and effective tool for applications using milliamp and/or millivolt signals. The gold contacts have a lower contact resistance and provide a better signal quality then the high current silver contacts.

Exposed disc caps are available to provide a quicker response to temperature changes. Special black discs can be used to further improve the response to radiative heating in exposed units.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

When should an exposed snap disc cap be used?

One of the standout characteristics of an exposed cap is its’ use of a black exposed disc. This disc serves as a crucial element in sensing temperature fluctuations swiftly, enabling the switch to respond rapidly to environmental changes. This quick thermal response is especially important in applications where precise temperature control is paramount, such as in thermostats, industrial control systems, and appliances. The exposed caps are available for all non-epoxied snap disc thermostats within the Senasys catalog.

When should gold contacts be used in place of silver?

One of the key advantages of gold contacts is their significantly lower contact resistance when compared to high-current silver contacts. This low resistance translates into improved electrical conductivity, allowing for smoother and more reliable signal transmission. This is especially important in applications where even the slightest interruption or distortion in the signal could lead to critical errors or malfunctions.

What is a flange mount?

When it comes to temperature monitoring, precision is key. The standard flange mount plays a vital role in achieving this precision by minimizing the distance between the sensor and the area being measured. This reduced gap ensures that temperature fluctuations are detected and recorded with remarkable accuracy, making it an indispensable tool in industries where temperature control is critical.

What custom temperatures are available?

For small quantities, we can build anything from 0°F to 350°F. Contact us for higher temperatures.

How much power does a snap disc use?

A snap disc does not use any power. Instead it acts as a circuit breaker for a system.

What material are 3/4” snap discs made from?

The body of the switch is plastic, and the mounting cap is steel.
