Temperature Sensor Switch

The water temperature switch is a protection device that monitors coolant temperature and triggers critical responses when thresholds are exceeded. This electro-mechanical switch activates between 90-120°C (varies by application) to safeguard engine components from overheating damage.

Key Characteristics:

Bimetallic or Wax Pellet Actuation: Provides reliable on/off switching

Normally Open/Closed Configurations: Typically closes to complete warning light circuits

Mounting: Threaded into thermostat housings or cylinder heads



Primary Functions:

  1. Activates dashboard warning lights

  2. Engages auxiliary cooling fans

  3. Triggers ECU protection modes (in modern vehicles)



Technical Specifications:

  • Accuracy: ±3°C

  • Electrical Rating: 12V/5A typical

  • Material: Brass body with EPDM seals



Failure Impacts:

  • Stuck open: Risk of unnoticed overheating

  • Stuck closed: Constant false warnings

  • Corrosion: Common in neglected cooling systems

Modern variants integrate with ECU networks while maintaining fail-safe mechanical operation - remaining essential for both conventional and electric vehicle thermal management systems.
