Description

The KSD302 is a bimetallic, snap-action thermal switch enclosed in a high-grade ceramic body. The ceramic material provides excellent electrical insulation, high dielectric strength, and stable thermal performance, ensuring the switch operates reliably at its calibrated trip point without drift. The normally closed contacts open automatically when the sensing surface reaches the factory-set temperature of 130°C, breaking the circuit to prevent overheating.

This device functions as a one-shot thermal protector or a resettable thermostat, depending on the circuit design. After tripping, the contacts will close again once the temperature cools below the reset point, allowing for automatic or manual system recovery. Its simple two-terminal design makes it easy to integrate into AC or DC power lines for heaters, transformers, motors, and other equipment requiring overtemperature protection.

Key Features

  • Precision bimetallic disc actuator for accurate temperature response
  • Ceramic housing ensures high voltage isolation and flame retardancy
  • Snap-action mechanism provides clear, reliable contact separation
  • Designed for direct sensing of surface or ambient temperature
  • Long mechanical life with consistent trip/repeat performance
  • Compact form factor for space-constrained installations
  • High-value build for cost-effective thermal protection solutions

Applications

  • Over-temperature protection for electric water heaters and boilers
  • Thermal cutoff in power supplies, transformers, and battery chargers
  • Safety interlock for coffee makers, soldering irons, and heating appliances
  • Temperature monitoring in motor windings and industrial control cabinets
  • Resettable thermal fuse replacement in consumer electronics and tools

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the reset behavior of the KSD302 thermal switch?

The KSD302 is a snap-action, bimetallic switch. After it opens at 130°C, it will automatically reset and close the contacts once the temperature cools below its reset point, typically a few degrees lower than the trip temperature. This allows for automatic system recovery once the fault condition is cleared.

Can this switch be used to control DC voltage, or is it only for AC?

Yes, the KSD302 is rated for 250V AC/DC, meaning it can safely interrupt both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) circuits up to the specified 10A current. The ceramic housing provides the necessary dielectric strength for both voltage types.

How should I mount the KSD302 for accurate temperature sensing?

For optimal performance, the switch should be mounted so its metal sensing disc is in direct, firm thermal contact with the surface or component you wish to monitor. Use thermal grease or a mounting clip to ensure good heat transfer. Avoid insulating the body, as the bimetallic element senses temperature through its casing.

Is this a manual or automatic reset switch?

The KSD302 features an automatic reset function. It does not require a manual button press to reset. Once the temperature at the switch falls below the reset threshold, the internal bimetallic disc will snap back, physically closing the contacts to restore the circuit automatically.
