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!

do a search for temperature switch maybe one of those will work

there switches are prob to large for your use

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.
