In that posting, I explored some other subtle forms of torture, including with magnets and by deliberately overloading the switch by exceeding the rated cen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/experimenting-with-thermal-switches/b/challenge-blog/posts/blog-4-torturing-thermal-switches-contact-bounce-overvoltage-building-a-component-filament-dryerThu, 10 Feb 2022 16:38:56 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:63d32b41-4eab-4c37-84b9-d4fba9d89e1cjavagoza0<p>Great post [mention:ef601b47037147bfb9b0b4a3ab63026a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]. Thanks to your schematics and explanations I have been able to understand very well the practical uses with normally open and normally closed thermal switches. I think I would be able to dare to use them sometime without breaking anything.<br />The addition of the circuit redesign with N-channel MOSFETs is a great contribution. Thanks again for sharing and being so instructive.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23036&AppID=359&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/experimenting-with-thermal-switches/b/challenge-blog/posts/blog-4-torturing-thermal-switches-contact-bounce-overvoltage-building-a-component-filament-dryerThu, 10 Feb 2022 11:40:29 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:63d32b41-4eab-4c37-84b9-d4fba9d89e1cravi kondeti0<p>interesting&nbsp;</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23036&AppID=359&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
