The KSD301 is a normally closed (NC) snap-action thermostat switch rated for 250V AC/DC and 10A, designed to open its contacts at a fixed 90°C temperature. Its robust Bakelite housing makes it suitable for direct integration into heating elements, appliances, and industrial control panels for over-temperature protection.

Features

  • Fixed 90°C normally closed (NC) snap-action switch
  • High-current rating of 10A at 250V AC/DC
  • Durable Bakelite housing for electrical insulation and heat resistance
  • Compact and robust design for direct mounting
  • Ideal for over-temperature protection in appliances and industrial equipment

Description

The KSD301 is a bimetallic disc thermostat that functions as a single-use, normally closed thermal switch. When the ambient temperature reaches its calibrated set point of 90°C, the bimetallic disc snaps, mechanically opening the circuit to cut power to the connected load. This provides a reliable and fail-safe method for over-temperature protection.

Encased in a Bakelite shell, the switch offers excellent electrical insulation and thermal stability. Its simple two-terminal design allows for straightforward series connection with heating elements, motors, or transformers in appliances like coffee makers, water heaters, and power supplies, preventing damage from thermal runaway.

Key Features

  • Bimetallic snap-action mechanism for precise and reliable trip point at 90°C
  • High electrical rating supports direct control of loads up to 10A at 250V
  • Bakelite enclosure ensures high dielectric strength and flame retardancy
  • Normally closed (NC) configuration provides fail-safe circuit interruption
  • Compact and lightweight design for space-constrained installations
  • Robust construction suitable for demanding industrial and appliance environments

Applications

  • Over-temperature protection in electric water heaters and kettles
  • Thermal cutoff for motors, transformers, and power supplies
  • Safety interlock in coffee makers, soldering irons, and small appliances
  • Temperature monitoring in industrial control panels and enclosures

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the reset behavior of the KSD301 thermostat?

The KSD301 is a manual-reset bimetallic thermostat. Once it trips open at 90°C, the contacts remain open until the device cools down significantly below the trip point and is manually reset, typically by pressing a button on the housing. It does not automatically re-close.

Can this switch be used to control a 120V AC heating element?

Yes, the KSD301 is rated for up to 250V AC/DC and 10A, making it fully compatible with 120V AC systems. Ensure the current draw of your heating element does not exceed the 10A rating. It should be wired in series with the load for over-temperature cutoff.

How should the KSD301 be mounted for accurate temperature sensing?

For optimal performance, mount the thermostat in direct thermal contact with the heat source or surface you need to monitor, using its mounting holes. Ensure good thermal conductivity and avoid insulating materials between the Bakelite body and the target surface to guarantee a responsive trip.
