Asahi US-118 Hermetic Thermostats

Asahi US-118 hermetically-sealed thermostats offer the ultimate in moisture-resistant temperature control.  Unlike other epoxy-sealed disc thermostats, the US-118s are true hermetic products with a glass-to-metal seal around the terminal posts.  This ensures complete protection against moisture ingress in those high-specification applications which demand it.

The US-118 is available with both normally-open (break-on-rise) and normally-closed (make-on-rise) contacts, so they can be used to control temperature as well as switch on alarms or fan control circuits.  Temperature tolerances down to ±3K and typical differentials of 15K means close energy-efficient control – special tolerances and differentials available for volume applications.

Various mounting flanges offer both surface and through-hole temperature monitoring and several terminal options are also available.  Gold-plated contacts are a further option for very low-voltage circuits where minimum contact impedance is essential.
