Overview

OHD: The OHD Thermal Guard is developed for thermal problem countermeasures and safety standard conformity, which are becoming increasingly important for electronic devices in recent years.

Their unique proprietary design features a magnet and a temperature-sensing soft ferromagnetic substance called Thermorite®. The material’s magnetic flux density decreases as the temperature increases turning it into a paramagnetic substance at the Curie temperature. These products have also been attested by the International Relay Association.

TRS: The TRS Thermal Reed Switch is a highly reliable, precise temperature-sensitive switch ideal for energy conservation.

TRS-P: The TRS Thermal Reed Switch packaged into a screw mounting device, for simple screwing into the device requiring temperature detection or overheat monitoring.

Applications

OHD: Typical applications include atmospheric temperature detection and overheating monitoring of power transistors, power modules, room heaters, hot gas heaters, PPCs, amplifiers, motors, HDDs, FDDs and other general appliances.

TRS: Typical applications include temperature detection and overheat monitoring of electric appliances, heat-retention heater control for rice cookers, defrost for air conditioners and vending machines, roll heater temperature control for copying machines, radiator water temperature detection for automotive electric fan control.

TRS-P: Typical applications include radiator water detection and overheat detection for industrial and agricultural engines.
