To provide a thermally actuated switch which has a simple structure and prevents contacts from being brought into contact with each other while a push member recovered by pushing a displacement member is being pushed.
The thermally actuated switch comprises a push member which is provided and extended from a gap between a displacement member and a second electrode to a first electrode, by being pushed one edge because of a convex displacement of the displacement member, pushes the electrode, separates a first contact from a second contact and has the other edge extending to outside of a housing. The push member also pushes the displacement member to recover to the concave state because the other edge is pushed from the outside of the housing to the displacement member side, and maintains a separating condition between the first contact and the second contact because the second electrode is pushed and elastically deformed.
