Abstract
A thermally responsive switch includes a hermetically sealed container including a metal housing and a header plate, at least one conductive terminal pin hermetically fixed in a through hole, a fixed contact fixed-to the terminal pin in the container, a thermally responsive plate having one end connected via a support to an inner surface of the container and reversing a curvature direction at a predetermined temperature, and at least one movable contact electrically conductively secured to the other end of the thermally responsive plate. Each contact includes a silver-tin oxide-indium oxide system contact. The container is filled with a gas containing helium ranging from 50% to 95% so that an internal pressure of the container ranges from 0.3 to 0.6 atmosphere at room temperature.
