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!

these are a little nicer but no pipe tape

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).

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.

I use pre-set thermo switches in my business. They will switch aproximately 5-8 amps @ 220VAC-120vac and lower d,c, If these will work for you I will send you some no charge as you have helped me in the past. They are not threaded in an NPT like you requested but might serve as good proto types. Give me an address to send them to Bob Horvath [email protected]
