ABSTRACT:
A switch has a temperature-dependent switching mechanism that is received in a housing. The housing has a first housing part on whose inner base a first countercontact is arranged. Also provided is a second housing part, closing off the first housing part, on whose inner base a second countercontact is arranged, such that the switching mechanism creates, as a function of its temperature, an electrically conductive connection between the two countercontacts, to which contact is made from outside through a respective wall of the associated housing part. At least one housing part is made of insulating material. The countercontact in the housing part made of insulating material is arranged in lossproof fashion, for example by casting or injection-molding, in such a way that it is an integral component of said housing part.
