ABSTRACT:
A switch has a housing 12 which receives a temperature-dependent switching mechanism 11, a first housing part 15 on whose inner base 25 a first electrode 24 connected to a first external terminal 23 is arranged, and a second housing part 14, closing off the first housing part 15, that has a second electrode 20 connected to a second external terminal 22. The switching mechanism 11 creates, as a function of its temperature, an electrically conducting connection between the first and the second electrode 24, 20. A parallel resistor 33 is arranged in the housing 12, geometrically and electrically between the two electrodes 20, 24.
