5100 | SERIES
HERMETICALLY SEALED THERMOSTAT PROBE
Introduction
The 5100 series is a single pole, single throw, snap-action, hermetically sealed temperature control designed for applications requiring
high vibrational resistance in an isolated case. The snap-action disc is located in the very tip of the probe,assuring rapid and true response
to temperature. The welded construction of this sealed thermostat ensures meeting thermal shock specifications of MIL-STD-202, method
107, test condition B. In addition,the tube will withstand a pressure exposure limit of 1500 PSI.
Features
• Hermetic glass seal, isolated-case only
• Ideal for immersion sensing
• Multiple mounting and terminations available
• UL and CSA recognized component
Applications
• Hydraulic Systems
• Degreasers
• Industrial and Portable Compressors
• Refrigeration Systems

Note
• Select any temperature in the range of 35°F to 480°F. Standard choices fall on the 5°F increments, for example 140°F, 145°F, 150°F, 155° F... up to 475°F or 480°F
• Specify the °F temperature in the part numbering scheme as a three digit code without the ‘°F’ in the part numbe r. For example, for 200°F, put in code ‘200’
• Bottom Temperature in °F” equals the “Top Temperature in °F” minus “Nominal Differential in °F”. For example 310°F - 30°F = 280°F

Note
• The standard tolerance for the top temperature is based on the temperature range the top temperature falls in, please refer to the temperature setting chart, and
select the appropriate code for a standard top temperature tolerance
• For bottom temperature tolerance a “Y” = minimum trip, which indicates the “reset” trip occurs at or above the lower temperature set point.

ORDERING OPTIONS
Example :C51CBA285C-245Y
Close contacts on temperature rise, 5100 series, isolated case 6” flying leads, 1/2-14 PTF threads, .698” tube length, 285°F top temperature with a ±10°F standard
top tolerance and a standard 40°F differential between top and bottom temperature for temperature range of 251°F to 400°F, differential helps calculate a bottom
temperature of 245°F with a standard minimum reset for contacts to close at or above the bottom temperature set point.
