ABSTRACT:
A thermally actuated switch located within a housing is disclosed, the switch having a bi-metallic element coupled thereto for the opening or closing of an electrical circuit. The switch is particularly characterized by a one-piece housing having a recess which provides a surface against which the bi-metallic heat responsive element engages and a surface against which a fixed electrical contact is held. Since there is a fixed relation of the element and the contact being a definite distance apart, and by the utilization of conductive contact members that self align within the housing, protrusions on the contact members egaging corresponding recesses in the housing, the actuating pin between the bi-metallic element and the contact may be of a uniform length thereby facilitating assembly of the switch.
