What is a snap action thermostat?
The snap action thermostat is the result of the design of the bimetallic disc which is formed in order to hold its original shape until the specified transition temperature and then switches the position of the contacts quickly. Also a differential or hysteresis is built into the design which eliminates the rapid and repeated on/off chattering or telegraphing characteristic of creeper type thermostats.
