Description

The KSD301 is a bimetallic disc thermostat housed in a durable ceramic package. It operates on a snap-action principle: when the ambient temperature reaches its factory-calibrated 90°C set point, the bimetallic disc deflects, instantly opening the normally closed (NC) contacts to break the circuit. This provides fail-safe thermal protection.

Its ceramic construction offers excellent electrical insulation and withstands high temperatures, making it suitable for direct mounting on hot surfaces like heater blocks, motor housings, or within power enclosures. The device is a cost-effective, maintenance-free solution for applications requiring a fixed cut-off point.

Key Features

  • Fixed-temperature bimetallic snap-action switch for reliable operation
  • Ceramic housing ensures high dielectric strength and thermal durability
  • Normally closed (NC) contact configuration provides fail-safe opening
  • Rated for 10A at 250V, capable of switching significant loads directly
  • Compact form factor (approx. 9 x 6 x 3 cm) for space-constrained designs
  • Wide operating temperature range up to its 90°C actuation point
  • Simple two-terminal design for straightforward series wiring

Applications

  • Over-temperature protection in coffee makers, kettles, and small appliances
  • Thermal cutoff for transformers, power supplies, and battery chargers
  • Safety shut-off in soldering iron handles and heating element controls
  • Temperature limiting in 3D printer hotends and heated beds
  • Motor and pump overheating protection in industrial control panels

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the switching action of the KSD301 thermostat?

The KSD301 is a normally closed (NC) switch. Its contacts are closed at temperatures below its 90°C set point, allowing current to flow. When the sensed temperature reaches 90°C, the internal bimetallic disc snaps open, breaking the circuit to provide over-temperature protection.

Can this thermostat switch both AC and DC loads?

Yes, the switch is rated for 250V and 10A for both AC and DC applications. This makes it suitable for a wide range of circuits, from mains-powered appliances to lower-voltage DC heating elements, provided the current and voltage do not exceed its ratings.

How do I install and wire the KSD301 switch?

Installation is straightforward. The switch has two terminals. Wire it in series with the load (e.g., heater) and power source. Ensure good thermal contact between the ceramic body and the surface whose temperature you need to monitor for accurate and reliable actuation.

Is the 90°C set point adjustable?

No, the KSD301 is a fixed-temperature thermostat. Its actuation point is factory-set to 90°C (194°F) and cannot be recalibrated or adjusted by the user. For adjustable temperature control, a different device with a variable setpoint would be required.
