Temperature-dependent switch

A temperature-dependent switch, comprising:

• a switch housing having a lower part and a cover part closing the lower part;
• a contact carrier element arranged in the switch housing and comprising a contact surface, wherein at least one section of the contact carrier element is fixed in position by an interaction of the lower part and the cover part;
• and
• a temperature-dependent switching mechanism, which is arranged in the switch housing and comprises a movable contact part which interacts with the contact surface arranged at the contact carrier element, wherein the switching mechanism is configured to switch in a temperature-dependent manner between a low-temperature state and a high-temperature state,
• wherein, in the low-temperature state, the switching mechanism presses the movable contact part in contact with the contact surface in order to establish an electrical connection between a first electrical terminal of the switch and a second electrical terminal of the switch, and wherein, in the high-temperature state, the switching mechanism keeps the movable contact part spaced apart from the contact surface in order to interrupt the electrical connection between the first electrical terminal and the second electrical terminal.
