Abstract

A thermostatic valve for a cooling circuit of a motor vehicle may include a thermostat housing part, a connector, a connector sleeve and an expansion element including a hearing resistor. The connector and the expansion element may each be insertable into the connector sleeve via a sealed and mechanically plugged-in connection. The connector and the expansion element together with the connector sleeve may define an assembly. The assembly may be insertable into the thermostat housing part via another sealed and mechanically plugged-in connection. The connector and the heating resistor may define an electrically conductive connection when the connector and the expansion element are inserted into the connector sleeve.
