The KSD9700/BK05-BB1D is a metallic-shell, snap-action thermal switch designed to open a circuit at a precise 120°C setpoint, protecting appliances, power supplies, and industrial equipment from overheating. It features a normally closed (NC) contact configuration rated for 5A at 250V AC/DC.

Features

  • Normally Closed (NC) snap-action thermal switch opens at 120°C (±5°C typical)
  • Rated for 5A continuous current at 250V AC/DC for robust circuit protection
  • Durable metallic shell construction for effective heat transfer and mechanical durability
  • Compact form factor with 7cm lead wires for easy integration into existing wiring
  • Reliable, maintenance-free operation for over-temperature protection in enclosed spaces

Description

The KSD9700/BK05-BB1D is a bimetallic disc thermal protector. When the ambient temperature around its metallic shell reaches the calibrated setpoint of 120°C, the internal bimetallic disc snaps, mechanically opening the normally closed electrical contacts to break the circuit. This action provides a fail-safe cutoff to prevent damage to motors, transformers, or heating elements.

Its hermetically sealed metallic housing ensures rapid thermal response and protects the internal mechanism from dust and condensation. The switch is self-holding; it will remain open until the temperature cools sufficiently below the setpoint, at which point it automatically resets, closing the contacts to restore normal operation. This makes it ideal for repetitive protection cycles in consumer appliances and industrial control panels.

Key Features

  • Precision bimetallic snap-action mechanism for accurate trip point response
  • Metallic shell ensures fast thermal conduction and robust physical protection
  • Normally Closed (NC) contact configuration for fail-safe circuit interruption
  • Rated for 5A @ 250V AC/DC, suitable for direct control of small loads
  • Automatic reset function restores circuit after cooldown without manual intervention
  • Compact design with pre-attached 7cm insulated lead wires for simplified installation
  • Hermetically sealed construction resists environmental contaminants
  • High-reliability design for long-term use in temperature-critical applications

Applications

  • Over-temperature protection in power supplies, battery chargers, and transformers
  • Safety cutoff for heating elements in coffee makers, soldering irons, and food warmers
  • Motor protection in fans, pumps, and small appliances to prevent winding burnout
  • Thermal management in LED drivers, power converters, and electronic enclosures
  • Industrial control panel safety interlocks to protect sensitive circuitry

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the trip temperature and tolerance for this KSD9700 switch?

The KSD9700/BK05-BB1D is calibrated to trip (open the circuit) at 120°C. Typical tolerance for bimetallic snap-action switches like this is ±5°C, meaning it will actuate between approximately 115°C and 125°C depending on the specific unit and mounting conditions.

Is this switch Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC)?

This unit is a Normally Closed (NC) thermal switch. At room temperature, the electrical contacts are closed, allowing current to flow. When the sensing temperature reaches 120°C, the internal bimetallic disc snaps open, breaking the circuit to provide protection.

What is the maximum electrical load this switch can handle?

The switch is rated for a continuous current of 5 Amperes at a maximum voltage of 250 Volts, either AC or DC. This rating is suitable for directly switching small motors, heating elements, or transformers. For inductive loads, derating may be necessary to account for inrush currents.

How do I install and mount this thermal switch?

For optimal performance, the metallic shell of the switch must be in good thermal contact with the component or surface being monitored. Secure it using thermal adhesive, a mounting clip, or by soldering its leads directly into the circuit. Ensure the sensing area is not insulated, as this will delay the thermal response.

Does the switch reset automatically, or is it manual?

This thermal switch features an automatic reset function. Once it trips open at 120°C, it will remain open until the temperature around the shell cools sufficiently below the setpoint (typically by 15-30°C). It will then snap closed again, restoring the circuit without any manual intervention.
