2. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

   A thermal fuse protecting the windings of a small motor Thermal fuse works like that: Melt gets too hot, strong spring sinks into melted substance, weak spring opens circuit. (Weak spring sits on ceramic insulator. A thermal fuse is a cutoff which uses a one-time fusible link.

3. Bimetallic strip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip

   This interrupts the circuit and can be reset when the bimetal strip has cooled down. Bimetal strips are also used in time-delay relays, gas oven safety valves, thermal flashers for older turn signal lamps, and fluorescent lamp starters. In some devices, the current running directly through the bimetal strip is sufficient to heat it and operate ...
