Good day , could someone please point me to a device that would have say two wire terminals and could interrupt the flow of current between them when a dangerous temperature is reached?
the idea is simple , I built a lamp and I need some failsafe mechanism that would turn the lamp off when it gets too hot.the lamp is powered by a ordinary PC power supply.So normally I just connect the green wire to any of the black ones (ground) and the psu starts to work and the lamp shines, I would like to have thios switch attached to the lamp surface and connected to those green and black wires so that when the temp is high enough the current would be interrupted and the psu would shut down.
I have seen such devices in car amplifiers were they are attached to the aluminum heatsink and work as a fail safe so that when the temp on the heatsink gets too high the amp shuts down.
I hope you understood my quest , would be glad if someone could point me to some possible devices to use, thanks.
