Looking for a thermo switch??
 
I need a thermo switch that will close a set of contacts at around 190*-200*.. perferable with 1/8" pipe thread..

Any idea where I might find one?? Auto suppliers have limited resources for looking up other than application.. What kind of car is it?? Drives me nuts!!

Any help would be appreciated!

What you probably want is a thermostatic fan switch.
You know, the ones they use in cars to turn the electric fans on.
I think a KEM RF3 might be in your temp range (at least that's what I found on the internet).

Airpax has a great selection of temp switches. They may only sell through distributors but you can email them to find the closest one. http://www.airpax.net/site/sensing/bimetal/index.html

Dick,

I have had good luck getting switches from these guys. You will have to call, the site requires year, make and model. They can help by phone.
