Bimetal Thermostats
Bimetal Thermostats, which regulate the temperature inside heating pads, blankets, and medical pads, are used in any case where the applications need control for a low temperature.
Bimetal Thermostats use two different kinds of metal to regulate the temperature setting. When one of the metals expands more quickly than the other, it creates a round arc, like a rainbow. As the temperature changes, the metals continue to react differently, operating the thermostat. This opens or closes the contact opener, turning the electricity on or off as needed. Accuracy and efficiency are important for bimetal thermostats.
At Calco Electric, we have a variety of bimetal thermostats for your selection:
- ½” Snap Action Bimetal Disc Thermostat: HB-2 is compact, reliable, and cost-efficient. It is also compact with its ½” design.
- ¾” Snap Action Bimetal Disc Thermostat: HB-7 uses snap action to create high-speed contact separation, giving you a versatile, cost-efficient method of regulating temperatures.
- AMT-P1 Series Bimetal Thermostat provides more reliable, safe protection for your circuits. It uses an open frame design for efficiency.
- High Temperature Bimetal Thermostat: H702 can control temperatures reaching 400°C; typical disc thermostats can’t handle temperatures over 230°C because of a refractory issue.
- JUC 31F Series TO-220 PCB-Bimetal Disc Thermostat meets RoHs standards. As a snap action SPST bimetallic thermostat, it gives accurate regulation for one device. We are the only company that provides low-temperature regulation reaching 0C (32F).
- Narrow Differential Bimetal Thermostat: HB-5 Series uses snap action with unique dual-contact assembly. This is best for AC and DC applications.
- ASR 44 and ASR 44G Self Hold Thermal Cutout combine a thermostat with a resistor to meet a preset temperature.

The ASR is a thermostat/resistor combination. The resistor is electrically located below the contact arm of the thermostat. When the thermostat contacts open at the predetermined trip temperature, the resistors are in series with the load. Thermal cutouts are also known as a TCO, thermal switch or thermal cutout switch.

The low profile rectangular type snap action thermostat has a unique dual contact assembly excellent for AC or DC applications. The narrow differential of 10°C deg. or less in a low temperature application makes it an ideal controller for maintaining a constant temperature without a wide temperature swing. This thermostat offers increased sensitivity in a electrically insulated housing.

The ASR44G combines a thermostat and a resistor, with the resistor located below the thermostat's contact arm. When the temperature reaches a certain point, the thermostat opens, and the resistors work in conjunction with the load. This device is a type of thermal cutout, also known as a TCO, thermal switch, or thermal cutout switch.
