Abstract:
A thermally-actuated switch includes a movable member that is provided between a second electrode and a displacement member so as to be movable in a first direction, is pushed at one end by the displacement member in a concave state to push the second electrode at the other end to bring a second contact into contact with a first contact, and is moved in the first direction by an urging force acting on the second electrode due to convex displacement of the displacement member, and a regulating member that regulates movement of the movable member in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction from a transmittable position where a pushing force from the displacement member is capable of being transmitted to the second electrode, and releases the regulation such that the movable member moved in the first direction by the urging force is removed from the transmittable position.
