Thermal circuit breaker

Sealed snap-action switches

The new thermal circuit breaker series
from SCHURTER (Santa Rosa, Calif.) features a modern, sculpted rocker switch
and bezel, while offering several contemporary color choices. SCHURTER's TA36
provides what the company says are
seven " trendy " actuator colors and three
bezel colors, which can be mixed or
matched. A selection of five different markings in black, white or
embossed complement the offering. The new TA36 family functions as an appliance switch and thermal overcurrent protection
device. The company series offers a one-pole switch with overcurrent protection and a two-pole switch with one- or two-pole
overcurrent protection. There are 31 different rated currents 0.05
A to 20 A. Operating temperature range is -30°C to +60°C
(-22°F to 140°F). Especially suited for 277 VAC LED lighting applications in the U.S., other applications for the TA36 include
industrial appliances, HVAC and construction equipment.
