cheap temperature sensor

[awalinski]

Hi everyone!

I need an inexpensive temperature sensor which would be able to shut off the power to the relay running the pump. It's contact would be wired directly into the relay coil.
Ideally it would be mounted on a 1/4" plastic water tube.
Can you give me some advice where to look for it?
Thanks.

In my experience, Omega is a decent source of temperature equipment. Check out www.omega.com Their customer service is pretty good, so if you give them a call and describe your application, they can probably point you in the right direction.

For cheap thermal on/off switchs, preset ( you buy the temp you need try CLICKSON, dont know web address, but these are the low cost bimetalic switchas aka steam irons, toasters etc.

But this may be close.....

Make That Klixon

As XRF123 said, Klixon (correct spelling) should have something suitable. The company is now part of Texas Instruments. Have a look at this web site.
