Description

The KSD9700/BK05-BB1D is a bimetallic disc thermostat engineered for automatic circuit interruption upon reaching its calibrated temperature threshold. The switch operates in a normally closed (NC) configuration, maintaining circuit continuity until the internal temperature exceeds 140°C, at which point the bimetallic element snaps open to break the connection and halt current flow.

Housed in a sealed metallic shell, the switch offers excellent thermal conductivity for accurate sensing and provides electrical insulation and mechanical durability. Its design ensures a single-use or manual reset function (depending on variant), making it a critical safety component for preventing thermal runaway in electrical enclosures, motor windings, and power conversion units.

Key Features

  • Fixed Temperature Actuation: Precisely calibrated bimetallic disc opens contacts at 140°C (±5°C typical).
  • Robust Electrical Rating: Handles up to 5A at 250V AC or DC for broad circuit compatibility.
  • Durable Metallic Enclosure: Provides effective heat transfer, electrical isolation, and physical protection.
  • Normally Closed Operation: Failsafe design keeps the circuit closed under normal operating temperatures.
  • Compact Form Factor: Small dimensions facilitate installation in space-constrained applications.
  • Direct Series Connection: Simple two-terminal design for inline installation without auxiliary power.

Applications

  • Over-temperature protection in AC/DC power supplies and battery chargers.
  • Thermal cutoff safety for electric motors, transformers, and solenoids.
  • Heating element protection in coffee makers, soldering irons, and small appliances.
  • Temperature monitoring and safety interlock in industrial control cabinets.
  • Preventive thermal fusing in lighting ballasts and power electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this KSD9700 switch normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)?

This specific KSD9700/BK05-BB1D model is a Normally Closed (NC) switch. Its contacts are closed at temperatures below its 140°C set point, allowing current to flow. When the sensed temperature reaches or exceeds 140°C, the internal bimetallic disc snaps open, breaking the circuit to provide over-temperature protection.

What is the maximum current and voltage this thermal switch can handle?

The switch is rated for a continuous current of 5 Amperes at a maximum voltage of 250 Volts, which can be either AC or DC. It is crucial not to exceed these ratings to ensure reliable operation and prevent contact welding or failure under load.

How do I install and wire this temperature control switch?

Installation is straightforward. The switch has two wire leads. Connect it in series with the load (e.g., a heating element or motor) and the power source within the circuit you wish to protect. Ensure the metallic sensing body is in good thermal contact with the component or area whose temperature you need to monitor for optimal response.

Does this thermal switch reset automatically after it trips?

Most switches in the KSD series, including this likely variant, are one-time-use (non-resettable) devices. Once the internal bimetallic element snaps open at 140°C, the circuit is permanently broken. For applications requiring a reset, a manual-reset or auto-reset version must be selected.
