Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the thermostat is a variable resistor used for temperature sensing rather than a switching device
Thermostats that function primarily as variable resistors may be classified as other variable resistors.
If the thermostat is a simple switching device for electrical circuits
Switches for electrical circuits are classified under heading 85.36.
