NORTH CANTON, OH – The new PEPI® Model J-2 combines the function of a thermal fuse with the reliability of a 100% tested bimetallic thermal control. This is the first single operation PEPI device offered. It is a snap action device with a reset temperature of less than 0°C, preventing it from resetting under normal operating conditions. It is designed so that the bimetallic element carries the circuit for maximum current sensitivity under short circuit conditions.

The new PEPI® Model J-2 features the fold-over, low profile case design found in other Model J Series devices. The J-2 is AC resistive with contact ratings of 15 amps/120 volts. Each Model J-2 device is shipped with a preset calibration temperature. They can be shipped with any kind of factory-applied insulating lead wires up to #18 gauge, including nickel strips. If desired, they can also be shipped without leads.

PEPI® thermostats and thermal protectors are used in a wide variety of applications including operating controls for small appliances, battery packs, small motors, solenoids, transformers and converters, personal care products and numerous OEM applications for both domestic and international markets.
