Usually a mechanical or electromechanical switch in the base. When tilted, it opens the circuit and stops the heater. In many heaters, the switch is normally closed, allowing power when upright, and opens when tipped. Some heaters also include overheat protection to automatically shut off if the heater gets too hot.
