Metallic Bimetal Strip for Relay Thermal Protection from Germany

A bimetallic strip made of two bonded metallic alloys for thermal snap-action relays under HTS 8536.30.40. It mechanically deforms when heated to open or close electrical contacts, providing over-temperature protection. Reacts mechanically to temperature changes per subheading requirements.

Import Tips

Provide engineering drawings showing integration with specific relay models; ensure bimetal deflection specs meet temperature reactivity standards; declare exact metallic alloy composition to avoid ceramic classification errors
