Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine thermisch gesteuerte, elektrische Schaltvorrichtung 1, insbesondere Temperatursicherung oder Temperaturbegrenzer, mit einer aus einem Festkontakt 3 und einem Bewegungskontakt 4 gebildeten Schaltkontakteinrichtung 2 sowie einem eine Schmelzmasse 7 aufweisenden Schmelzelement 8, wobei die Schmelzmasse 7 vor einem thermischen Ansprechen infolge eines Überschreitens einer Auslösetemperatur ein Übertragungselement 9 abstützt und beim Überschreiten der Auslösetemperatur von dem sie beaufschlagenden Ende des Übertragungselementes 9 aus ihrer Aufnahme 6 verdrängt wird, wobei an dem Übertragungselement 9 eine radial abstehende, flächige Schmelzmasseabschirmung 19 angeordnet ist.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a thermally controlled electrical switching device 1, in particular a temperature fuse or temperature limiter, with a switching contact device 2 formed from a fixed contact 3 and a movement contact 4 and a melting element 8 having a melting mass 7, the melting mass 7 prior to a thermal response as a result of exceeding one Tripping temperature supports a transmission element 9 and is displaced from its receptacle 6 when the triggering temperature is exceeded by the end of the transmission element 9 acting on it, a radially projecting, flat melt shield 19 being arranged on the transmission element 9.
