Description

The KSD9700 thermostatic switch utilizes a precision bimetal disc as its sensing and actuating element. In normal operation, the disc remains in a free state, keeping the internal snap-action contacts closed to maintain circuit continuity. When the ambient temperature rises to the calibrated trip point (80°C), the bimetal disc deflects, mechanically snapping the contacts open to break the electrical circuit, thereby protecting the connected equipment from overheating.

After the fault condition is removed and the temperature cools below the reset point (typically 10-20°C below the trip temperature), the bimetal disc returns to its original shape, automatically reclosing the contacts to restore power. This self-resetting, purely mechanical operation makes it a robust and maintenance-free solution for over-temperature protection without requiring external power or control logic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact configuration of the KSD9700 switch?

The KSD9700 is a Normally Closed (NC) switch. This means the internal contacts are closed at temperatures below its 80°C trip point, allowing current to flow. When the sensed temperature reaches 80°C, the bimetal disc actuates and mechanically opens the contacts to break the circuit, providing over-temperature protection.

What electrical loads can this thermostat switch handle?

This switch is rated for a maximum voltage of 250V AC or DC and a maximum current of 5 Amps. These ratings are typically for resistive loads. For inductive loads like motors or transformers, derating may be necessary, and a snubber circuit is recommended to protect the contacts from arcing and extend their operational life.

How does the reset function work on this thermal switch?

The switch features a self-resetting, automatic operation. Once it trips open at 80°C, it will remain open until the ambient temperature cools down to a reset temperature, which is typically 10-20°C below the trip point. At this lower temperature, the bimetal disc snaps back to its original shape, mechanically closing the contacts to restore the circuit without any manual intervention.

How should I mount and install the KSD9700 thermostat?

For accurate sensing, the metal head of the thermostat must be in direct, firm thermal contact with the surface or component you wish to monitor (e.g., a motor housing or transformer core). Secure it using thermal adhesive, a mounting clip, or a bracket. Ensure the plastic body and wires are kept away from hot surfaces and Sharp Microelectronics edges to prevent damage.
