Thermally actuated multiple output thermal switch device

A multiple output thermal switch device, comprising:

• a first switch unit having an upper surface and a lower surface;
• a second switch unit having an upper surface and a lower surface;
• three terminal posts that partially protrude from the upper surface of the first switch unit;
• three terminal posts that partially protrude from the upper surface of the second switch unit;
• a locating plate that supports the first and second switch units such that the respective terminal posts on the first and second switch units are substantially parallel to each other, the locating plate having a top wall and a side wall that define a chamber;
• a first actuator button protruding into the chamber from the lower surface of the first switch unit;
• a second actuator button protruding into the chamber from the lower surface of the second switch unit;
• a bimetallic disc disposed in the chamber under the first and second actuator buttons, the bimetallic disc configured to contact the first and second actuator buttons when a predetermined temperature is reached;
• and
• a metallic cylindrical case surrounding the first and second switch units, and the locating plate, the cylindrical case having a bottom wall with a temperature sensing surface;
• wherein at least one of the first and second actuator buttons is positioned to contact the bimetallic disc off center such that two temperature set points are generated from a single snap-action of the bimetallic disc toward the first and second actuator buttons.
