Abstract

Current control apparatus operable to function selectively as a conductor, a circuit breaker, or a thermostat comprises a body formed of electrically insulating, compressible, inorganic, preferably elastomeric material having one or more portions thereof provided with discrete, electrically conductive particles which move relatively to one another into and out of engagement in response to changes in the state of compression to which the body is subjected or in response to variations in temperature of the body. The conductive portion or portions of the body extend through the latter from one side to the other, but are electrically isolated from one another by the nonconductive body portions. The body may include upstanding ribs or flanges on either or both of its opposite surfaces for the purpose of providing seals to prevent the entry of moisture or other foreign matter to the area bounded by the flanges.
