Metallic Thermal Cutout Disc from Germany
A metallic thermal cutout disc, made of bimetallic material, designed to snap-action open a circuit at a predetermined temperature for thermal protection. This disc is mechanically reactive to temperature and is intended for use in wirewound variable resistors of tariff item 8533.40.00, where it acts as a thermal safety component. Its metallic construction and mechanical thermal reactivity qualify it under this tariff item.

Import Tips
• Verify the disc is designed for use in variable resistors of 8533.40.00; if it is a standalone thermal protector, it may be classified elsewhere
• Provide bimetallic material composition and snap-action temperature specifications to CBSA
• Ensure the disc is not part of a complete thermal switch, which would change classification
