Fenwal Controls’ line of individually-calibrated Snap Disc Thermostats can be factory preset up to 500°F (260°C). These thermostats, available as hermetically sealed stainless steel probes (Series 08-80) or as surface mounting (Series 08-03) models, are designed specifically for high temperature applications. Featuring a precise and repeatable snap-acting bimetallic disc as the actuating element, these rugged devices have silver contacts to assure long life. The thermostats are available with a variety of terminal options, such as lead wires (any length), solder lugs, wiring eyelets and quick-connect style terminals.

“Everything about the Fenwal Snap Disc is customized to the application, whether it is destined for medical-grade sterilizers and incubators, high pressure compressors or food preparation equipment,” says Gordon Swanson, Controls Business Director at Fenwal. “The all stainless steel and hermetically sealed construction means that, unlike commodity brass components, the Probe Style Snap Disc Thermostat is suitable for damp or corrosive environments while accurately and reliably controlling at high temperatures.”

Available with normally closed or normally open switching, Fenwal Precision Probe Snap Disc Thermostats are UL/CSA and CE approved, suitable for a long life of up to 100,000 cycles, and meet MIL-STD-202 for vibration and shock resistance.

Free samples configured to specific application requirements are available to qualified OEMs directly from Fenwal’s manufacturing facility in Ashland, Massachusetts. Pricing, availability and stocking programs for production volumes are available upon request.
