Irregularly Shaped Thermostatic Bimetal Element

The Irregularly shaped thermostatic bimetal element is selected when a standard round disc cannot fit the thermostat's internal contour, fixing point or contact location. Custom stamping profiles, holes or bends can be used to match the mechanism. The part relies on thermal deformation of the bimetal material to contribute to a protection action and can be applied in kettle thermostats and related temperature-protection assemblies where geometry is a primary design constraint.

For the Irregularly shaped thermostatic bimetal element, a stamped-part drawing, dimensional sketch or original component should be supplied because no single outline is specified. The operating-temperature range is 100-250°C, the reset range is 0-100°C, temperature tolerance is ±5°C, and salt-spray testing can be specified for 24, 48 or 72 hours. Final switching behavior is influenced not only by temperature but also by shape, heated location and fixing method.

A custom program can move from profile and hole-position review to tooling, sample production, temperature testing and then mass manufacturing. Gan'en Electronics has stamping, forming, heat-treatment and thermostat-assembly capability and can separate production control for multiple shapes and temperature ranges. The usual MOQ is 10,000 pcs. Standard samples can be provided free; standard items generally take about 7 days and custom items about 15 days.

In volume production, each Irregularly shaped thermostatic bimetal element version can be tied to a drawing number, sample revision and batch record. Photo or video updates can be supplied during manufacturing. IQC, IPQC, FQC and OQC controls are applied through the process, followed by complete inspection before packing and support for third-party inspection, so tooling status, thermal parameters and final deliveries remain traceable.
