The bimetallic switch

Product No: P1352400

Principle

A bi-metal strip comprises two metal strips which are laminated together and have different thermal expansion coefficients. When warmed the strip flexes toward the side with the lower expansion coefficient. In so doing, it can act as a switch in the electric circuit.
