Lot of 2 - Portage Electric Products - PEPI F - Model F - Switch, Thermal. NC SPST Self Resetting, Opens 230 Deg F.

Portage Electric Products, Inc. (Pepi ®) has been making bimetallic thermal control devices to make and break electrical circuits for over a half century. A small, versatile snap-action thermal protector used mainly in motor, transformer, and lighting applications with 120, 240, or 277 VAC loads. The Model F is normally in the closed position allowing electricity to flow through the circuit. When the circuit load exceeds a preset temperature, the top side of the bimetal blade shortens forcing the blade to snap open, opening the circuit. When the circuit cools, the bimetal returns to its normal position closing the circuit and allowing electricity to once again flow.
