Overview
The 26D05161J adjustable bimetal thermostat is a temperature control switch engineered for precision sensing and switching in appliance and industrial applications. Bimetal construction provides accurate temperature response through the deflection of two different metal layers bonded together. The unit features adjustable temperature setpoint capability, allowing technicians to calibrate the switch for specific load requirements without replacement.
