TRS5-20BCR01 (KEMET)

The TRS5-20BCR01 from KEMET is a TRS™ series thermal reed switch. It is a highly reliable, precise temperature-sensitive switch ideal for energy conservation. The TRS Series is composed of a magnet and a temperature-sensing soft ferromagnetic substance called Thermorite®. The material's magnetic flux density decreases as the temperature increases, turning it into a paramagnetic substance at its curie temperature. Typical applications include temperature detection and overheat monitoring of electric appliances, heat-retention heater control for rice cookers, defrost for air conditioners and vending machines, roll heater temperature control for copying machines, radiator water temperature detection for automotive electric fan control.
