This type of thermostat uses a vial connected to a bi-metal spring that reacts to the temperature. So, when the vial is tipped in one direction, it closes the two contacts (turns unit on). Then when the vial is tipped the other way, it opens the two contacts (turns unit off).
Mercury
This type of thermostat uses a bi-metal device which causes two contacts to close (turn the unit on) or open (turn the unit off) the circuit depending on the room’s air temperature.
Mechanical
These thermostats use a magnetic latching relay. The two contacts close (turn the unit on) when the first coil on the relay receives a voltage pulse. The two contacts open (turn the unit off) when the second coil on the relay receives a voltage pulse. The voltage pulses are generated by the electronics inside the thermostat.
