Abstract:
A temperature-dependent switch has a housing with a cover part having a lower side and an upper side and with an electrically conductive lower part having a circumferential shoulder and a circumferential wall with an upper section that overlaps the cover part. The switch has a first external contact surface on the upper side of the cover part and a second external contact surface externally on the housing, wherein the upper section of the circumferential wall presses the cover part onto the circumferential shoulder. A temperature-dependent switching mechanism is arranged in the housing and, depending on its temperature, establishes or opens an electrically conductive connection between the first and second external contact surfaces. A circumferential cutting burr is arranged on the shoulder in the lower part.

Claim (Index 1):
A temperature-dependent switch, comprising:\n a housing comprising an electrically conductive lower part and a cover part made of an electrically insulating material, said cover part being provided with a lower side and an upper side, said lower part being provided with a circumferential shoulder and a circumferential wall, wherein said cover part lies with its lower side on said circumferential shoulder, and wherein said circumferential wall of said lower part has an upper section overlapping said cover part and pressing said cover part onto said circumferential shoulder, at least one first external contact surface being arranged on said upper side of said cover part, at least one second external contact surface being provided externally on said housing, a temperature-dependent switching mechanism being arranged in said housing, which switching mechanism, depending on its temperature, establishes or opens an electrically conductive connection between said at least one first and said at least one second external contact surfaces, and a first cutting burr being arranged on said circumferential shoulder in said lower part, said first cutting burr forming a mechanical barrier between said cover part and said lower part by said first cutting burr penetrating into said lower side of said cover part.
