 A thermal switch can either make (close) or break (open) a circuit when the temperature setpoint is reached.   A thermal switch can either make (close) or break (open) a circuit when the temperature setpoint is reached.  
  
-  * a **Normally Closed** (NC) switch is closed (circuit is made) until the set temp is reached.  At that time the switch opens, breaking the circuit.  Common use:  [[opinion:frater_secessus:self-heated_lifepo4|LiFePO4 warming pad]] shut off at 10C (50F).+  * a **Normally Closed** (NC) switch is closed (circuit is made) until the set temp is reached.  At that time the switch opens, breaking the circuit.  Common use:  [[opinion:frater_secessus:self-heated_lifepo4|LiFePO4 warming pad]] shut off at 10C (50F).
