THERMAL OVERLOAD RELAY
A case has an engagement hole formed in a side surface thereof in the width direction, a cover has a projecting piece formed thereon, the projecting piece projecting toward the case side, and a tip portion of the projecting piece is fitted into the engagement hole from the inside. A reset bar has a recessed portion formed in a preset range extending in the depth direction and the circumferential direction within the outer peripheral surface of the reset bar and, when positioned at either an initial position or an automatic reset position, prevents the tip portion from being pushed inside by having the outer peripheral surface opposed to the back side of the projecting piece. In addition, when positioned at a manual reset position, the reset bar allows the tip portion to be pushed inside by having the recessed portion opposed to the back side of the projecting piece.

Ignition interrupter and related methods
A system for interrupting ignition is disclosed. Specific implementations of ignition interrupters may include a first conductive tab configured to couple to a spark plug; a second conductive tab configured to couple to a spark plug wire; a first tab holder coupled with the first conductive tab; a second tab holder coupled with the second conductive tab, where the second conductive tab overlaps with the first conductive tab; a sled positioned perpendicularly to a plane of the first conductive tab and the second conductive tab, the sled coupled between the first conductive tab and the second conductive tab; a first spring coupled to the sled; and a second spring coupled to the sled; where the sled may be configured to move to an open position in the gap between the first conductive tab and the second conductive tab, decompressing the first spring and the second spring.

Temperature-dependent switch
A temperature-dependent switch has a first and a second stationary counter contact and a temperature-dependent switching mechanism with a contact member. The switching mechanism, in its first switching position, presses the contact member against the first counter contact and, in this case, produces an electrically conducting connection between the two counter contacts via the contact member. The switching mechanism, in its second switching position, holds the contact member at a spacing from the first counter contact. A closing lock is provided, which prevents the switch, once opened, from closing again. The closing lock locks the temperature-dependent switching mechanism permanently in the second switching position thereof in a mechanical manner.

Activatable thermal fuse
An activatable thermal fuse includes a first electrical terminal, a second electrical terminal, and an electrically conductive bridge element having a first electric contact with the first electrical terminal and a second electric contact with the second electrical terminal. At least a part of the bridge element is displaceable from a first position in which the first contact is established to a second position in which the first contact is opened, and a thermally sensitive member releases the part when exposed to a predetermined temperature value. An activating element blocks displacement of the part from the first position, in a first position of the activating element, and enables the displacement of the part in a second position of the activating element. A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board, a method of monitoring, and an electronic circuit including the thermal fuse are also provided.
