Description

The KSD9700/BK05-BB1D is a bimetallic disc-type thermal cutoff switch housed in a metallic shell. Its operation relies on the differential thermal expansion of two bonded metals: when the calibrated temperature (80°C) is reached, the disc snaps open, breaking the electrical connection and interrupting current flow to the protected circuit. This simple, electromechanical design requires no external power, offering fail-safe protection.

Engineered for durability, the metallic housing provides excellent heat transfer from the monitored component to the internal bimetallic element, ensuring accurate and responsive tripping. The switch is suitable for a wide range of AC and DC applications where reliable, maintenance-free over-temperature protection is critical for safety and equipment longevity.

Key Features

  • Precise Thermal Trip: Calibrated to open at 80°C with a consistent, snap-action mechanism for reliable circuit interruption.
  • Robust Electrical Rating: Handles up to 5A at 250V, suitable for protecting motors, transformers, and power electronics.
  • Durable Metallic Housing: Provides mechanical protection and efficient thermal coupling to the heat source.
  • Normally Closed Configuration: Maintains circuit continuity under normal conditions, breaking only upon over-temperature fault.
  • Pre-attached Wiring: Comes with 7cm insulated lead wires for straightforward solderless connection.
  • Maintenance-Free Operation: No moving parts to lubricate or electronic components to calibrate.
  • Wide Compatibility: Functions on both AC and DC circuits within its rated voltage and current limits.

Applications

  • Over-temperature protection for AC/DC power supplies and battery chargers.
  • Thermal cutoff safety device in small appliance motors, fans, and transformers.
  • Temperature monitoring and safety interlock in industrial control cabinets and heating equipment.
  • Embedded thermal protection for lighting ballasts and LED driver modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'Normally Closed (NC)' mean for this thermal switch?

In its normal, cool state (below 80°C), the switch contacts are closed, allowing current to flow through the circuit. When the temperature at the switch reaches its 80°C setpoint, the internal bimetallic disc snaps open, breaking the connection and interrupting power to the protected device, providing fail-safe over-temperature protection.

Can this switch be used on both AC and DC power circuits?

Yes, the KSD9700/BK05-BB1D is rated for 250V and 5A, applicable to both AC and DC systems within those limits. The bimetallic switching mechanism is not polarity-sensitive, making it versatile for various electrical protection applications.

How should I mount the thermal switch for accurate temperature sensing?

For optimal performance, the metallic shell of the switch must be in direct, firm thermal contact with the component or surface you wish to monitor. Use thermal adhesive, a mounting clip, or secure mechanical contact to ensure efficient heat transfer. Avoid insulating the housing, as this will delay the response time.

Does the switch reset automatically after it trips?

Yes, this is an automatic reset bimetallic switch. Once the temperature falls safely below the trip point (typically by 10-20°C), the internal disc will snap back to its original position, closing the contacts and restoring circuit continuity without manual intervention.
