THERMOSTAT 80DEG C SPST-NC MOD
I purchased one of these to work as a thermostat inside a heated chamber. However in my test closure It does not turn the heater off when the temperature is well over 80° C according to the oven Thermostat that is in with it. I simply have this wired directly in line between the heater and the 120v power cord.
Am I misunderstanding how this unit should work?
Thank you!

Thank you for contacting Digi-Key , this thermostat is only rated for 0.5A @ 140VAC , my best guess is that you have welded the contacts together by too much current . The first thing you need to know is what is the heating element current draw ? You may have to run this thermostat in line with a relay to turn the heater on and off . Something like this , part number 2449-J115F31A120VACS-ND , this is rated for 40A on the contacts .
Thanks Craig
Thank you I have easily don’t know much about electrical things.
Would you please recommend a specific Relay for these specifications? Thank you!

The relay I offered before will work part number 2449-J115F31A120VACS-ND , but the data sheet that you have linked shows that they are using FTO 011 which is a thermostat , I have found 2 part numbers for that one which we do not have Those part numbers are 01160.0-01 and 01160.0-00 , I did find some at a place called Galco they have them in stock , https://www.galco.com , Data sheet https://www.galco.com/techdoc/stgo/01160.0-00_dat.pdf
Thanks Craig
Thank you for your quick and helpful replies. I need a thermostat that cuts off at 80 degrees Celsius… Preferably I would like a variable one that goes that high, but I haven’t found one. Any that fit?

take a look at part number 1920-1715-ND , this is adjustable from -10 to 80C , https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/altech-corporation/APT-HNCC/8601122?s=N4IgTCBcDaIIIAUAqBaAEgOQMJZAXQF8g

Thanks Craig .
perfect, does this require a relay or is the relay included? Thank you
This looks to be all in one solution . screw terminals and din rail mounted .
