Thermal Switch Specification Question
https://www.skycraftsurplus.com/b12mswthermalnc55degc.aspx
I am unfamiliar with this type of switch. Apparently it is of standard bi-metallic design. Care to hazard a guess as to it's amperage spec? It would be so nice to protect my 50 watt LEDs 50/36v = 1.40 amperes. The lamps utilize fans to maintain safe junction temperatures. At a buck a pop, they could be Arctic Silver epoxied right alongside the heat sink and safe the chip in a failed fan condition. And I remember someone griping about a water pump thermal issue. These are rated 10 degrees warmer but undoubtedly (?) a relay would have to be used (?)
