Abstract

A temperature-dependent switch comprising a switch housing, a contact carrier element, and a temperature-dependent switching mechanism. The switch housing has a lower part and a cover part closing the lower part. The contact carrier element is arranged in the switch housing and comprises a contact surface, wherein at least a section of the contact carrier element is fixed in position by an interaction of the lower part and the cover part. The temperature-dependent switching mechanism is arranged in the switch housing and comprises a movable contact part which interacts with the contact surface arranged at the contact carrier element. The switching mechanism is configured to switch in a temperature- dependent manner between a low-temperature state, in which it establishes an electrical connection between first and second electrical terminals of the switch, and a high- temperature state, in which it interrupts the electrical connection between the first and second electrical terminals.
