KSD9700/BK05-BB1D Metallic Shell Temperature Control Switch 35C Normally Closed - 10A 250V

The trip temperature is typically calibrated to 35°C with a tolerance of ±3-5°C. The reset differential, the temperature drop required for the contacts to re-close, is usually 5-10°C below the trip point. This hysteresis prevents rapid cycling near the set point.

Yes, the switch is rated for 250V AC/DC. The 10A current rating applies to both AC and DC resistive loads. For inductive loads (motors, solenoids), derating may be necessary to account for inrush currents and arcing during contact opening.

For accurate sensing, the metallic body of the switch must be in direct, firm thermal contact with the surface or component you wish to protect. Use thermal adhesive, a mounting clip, or a screw to ensure good heat transfer. Avoid insulating the metal shell, as this will delay the response.

The included 7cm pre-attached leads are suitable for direct connection to nearby terminals. The wire gauge is typically AWG 20-22, sufficient for the 10A rating over this short distance. For longer runs, you can splice in heavier gauge wire as needed.
