THERMAL SWITCH WITH ORGANIC GLASS BEAD MIXTURE FUSIBLE PELLET Abstract of the Disclosure A thermal switch for automatically opening a circuit when the ambient temperature exceeds a predetermined level is disclosed which utilizes a fusible pellet formed of an organic-glass bead mixture. The organic-glass bead pellet retains a pair of leads in contact with each other when the ambient temperature is below the melting temperature of the organic material. The addition of the glass beads to the tem- perature sensing pellet allows the compressive strength that is needed to hold the leads together to be more reliably controlled. In the process of combining the organic material and the glass beads, to form the pellet, the organic material is first melted so as to flow around the beads. Manufacture of the thermally-fusible pellet in this manner eliminates the voids which occur in the pressed organic pellets that are conventionally used in thermal sensing devices. The elimination of these voids increases the strength of the otherwise relatively fragile pellet thereby improving reliability of thermal switches which utilize the improved pellet of the present invention.
