Import Tips
• Document voltage/current ratings (typically 120-240V, 20A+) to prove suitability for direct heating control
• Include wiring diagrams showing integration with heating elements, not general appliances
• Watch for misclassification as switches (8536) by emphasizing temperature feedback loop
