Creep Action Thermostat
The creep action units are constructed with a bimetal strip that curves with the temperature excursions to provide the mechanical action of make and break for the contacts. This provides a close differential between on/off, but can cause radio frequency interference in enclosures that have sensitive electronics.
The temperature setting is factory preset and has the range of between 40°F and 300°F, +/- 5°F.
Maximum amperage of these units is 8 amps at 120 volts.
These small thermostats are commonly used as motor protectors or over temperature protectors in appliance applications.
