Description
Improved Racing’s thermally activated switch will turn on an electric fan or electric differential / transmission pump when fluid reaches the activation temp of 180°F, 190°F, or 200°F. These switches are a great way to control fluid temperatures without using a thermostat.
The switch’s body is made from brass, which has a high rate of thermal conductivity for quick reactions to changes in temperature.
The switch features a standard 1/8″ NPT thread for screwing into an existing sensor port or a sensor tee. It is rated for up to 10 amps at 12 volts.
Function
- When the activation temperature is reached at the probe, the switch will complete a circuit between the two spade connectors.
- When the temperature at the probe drops to the deactivation temperature, the switch will open the circuit between the two spade connectors.
Installation Notes
- Higher amperage devices (over 10A) require the use of a relay.
- Always wire with a 10A fuse to protect the switch from damage when not using a relay.
