Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used as general temperature sensing without motor protector specificity
General PTC thermistors not dedicated to 8536 apparatus fall under resistor headings
If imported as complete assembled switch rather than discrete part
Complete temperature switches are classified in 8536, not parts heading 8538
