Principle
NEC TOKIN thermal sensor consists of ring shaped Thermorite®, permanent magnet and gap spacer attached together with reed switch inserted into the center hole. Thermorite is a ferromagnetic substance made of soft magnetic material. This material decreases the saturation magnetic flux density as the temperature rises and turns into a paramagnetic substance at the curie temperature. By this structure, Thermorite turns on and off the switch by converting the heat to magnetic energy according to the surrounding temperature.
