HCET 17AM Bimetal Thermal Protector Switch Motor Overload Protector for HVAC/Compressor/Appliance Safety

The HCET 17AM Bimetal Thermal Protector is a precision-engineered motor protection device designed for dual-sensitive (temperature & current) circuit interruption. As a direct replacement for Klixon 17AM series, it ensures reliable overload protection in motors (AC/DC), HVAC systems, compressors, power tools, and home appliances. With calibrated temperature accuracy (±3℃/±5℃) and high current capacity (20A 125VAC), this RoHS-certified protector combines compact size with industrial-grade durability, preventing equipment failure due to overheating or overcurrent conditions.

Product feature:

• Dual-Sensitive Protection
  Simultaneously monitors temperature (50-180℃ range) and current (up to 10A), triggering instant circuit breakage for motors, pumps, and compressors in overload scenarios.  
• Precision-Calibrated
  100% factory-tested with ±3℃ tolerance (customizable to ±5℃), ensuring consistent thermal response across HVAC systems and industrial equipment.  
• High-Current Compact Design
  Delivers 20A/125VAC switching capacity in space-constrained installations - ideal for power tools, air compressors, and fluorescent ballasts.  
• Multi-Industry Compliance
  Certified RoHS compliant for global markets, compatible with UL/CE standards (specify if applicable). Validated in:  
  Motor-driven systems (pumps, fans)  
  Appliance safety circuits (heaters, dryers)  
  Industrial automation equipment  
• Universal Terminal Options
  Flexible wire configurations (same/opposite end terminals) and custom lead lengths available for seamless integration with motor windings, transformers, and control panels.
