Temperature switch and method for adjusting a temperature switch

A temperature switch, comprising a housing (2), a switching system (3) consisting of a first support (3.1) with a fixed contact (3.2) and a second support (3.3), on which a switch spring (3.4) with a switch contact (3.5) is arranged, and a switching arrangement (4), which effects a positional change of the switch contact (3.5) as a function of the temperature, characterised in that the first support (3.1) and the second support (3.3) are constructed in a bendable manner and in that the housing (2) is formed by at least one first housing section (2.1) having at least one housing opening (2.3) and a second housing section (2.2) closing the housing opening (2.3), wherein the housing opening (2.3) is constructed for introducing and positioning adjustment means (10, 10′) on the supports (3.1, 3.3), in that the housing opening (2.3) is provided at the end of the first housing section (2.1) housing at least to some extent the switching arrangement (4), and in that the supports (3.1, 3.3) extend laterally into an interior (2.1.1) formed in the first housing section (2.1).
