Signal comparator

Overload switch, useful as a circuit-breaker in automobiles, has a conductive heat generating component displaced from between two terminals by an elastic element when triggered by a switch-off signal

An overload switch has a conductive heat generating component which is displaced from between two terminals by an elastic element triggered by a switch-off signal. An overload switch has a conductive heat generating component between two connection terminals, a trigger actuated by a switch-off signal, an expandable elastic element which can force the heat generating component from between the terminals, a container containing the heat generating component, the trigger and the elastic element, and a holder which holds the elastic element in the compressed state and which is located at least partially within the container. When the heat generating component is located between the terminals and the holder holds the elastic element in the compressed state, conduction between the terminals is maintained, but when the trigger is actuated and the heat generating component produces heat, the holder releases the elastic element to force the heat generating component from between the terminals, thus interrupting conduction between the terminals. Preferred Features: The heat generating component contains an exothermic medium comprising a metal powder, selected from B, Si, Fe, Si, Zr, Ti and Al, and a metal oxide, selected from CuO, MnO2, Pb3O4, PbO2, Fe3O4, Fe2O3 and Cr2O3.
