ANSI/IEEE Self-operating thermal switch form
IEEE-library form of self-operating thermal switch: a self-operating thermal switch responds directly to its thermal condition rather than through a separate powered relay input.
In plain English
What does ANSI/IEEE Self-operating thermal switch form mean?
This reference locates self-operating thermal switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented pressure and temperature switches family. A self-operating thermal switch responds directly to its thermal condition rather than through a separate powered relay input. Its contact and reset behaviour are device-specific. The public library uses HTS12S59C for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.
A simple example
Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence.
What the drawings help you do
Trace the thermal device separately from any PLC or auxiliary supply. A self-operating thermal switch is not the same as a powered temperature monitoring relay. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

A distinction that matters
A self-operating thermal switch is not the same as a powered temperature monitoring relay.
