Snap-action thermal protector 3MP

metal

As world leader in appliance motor protection, Sensata Technologies has developed KLIXON® 3MP for 120 and 250 Vac applications to operate in wider temperatures and current ranges than offered by existing protection solutions. In providing consistent performance characteristics and excellent reliability, its features anticipate future technical protection requirements on the AC motor market. KLIXON® 3MP consists of a metal housing with an integrated terminal. The housing holds the pre-set KLIXON® snap action bimetal disc. The split plate carries a resistive S-shaped wire which provides additional current sensitivity. The advanced contact system - one on the bimetal disc and one on the plate - in combination with the strong disc guarantees a long life and reliable cycling. The combination of a variety of standard terminal configurations and carefully selected materials provides easy handling and mounting. Customized terminal configurations are available on request. Wires including connectors can be automatically attached to the standard crimp terminal. Sensata Technologies supplies a range of standard lead configurations; customized solutions are available on request. In construction where the 3MP device is contacting conductive parts of the motor assembly, Sensata Technologies can deliver the devices with a Mylar™ insulation sleeve. Customized coding and coloring of the coding tape is an option on request.
