KSD301 Thermal Switch 250V 10A
The KSD301 Thermal Switch is a compact, single-pole/ single-throw bimetal snap‑action thermostat with normally closed contacts at room temperature. It opens automatically when reaching the preset trip temperature (40 °C, 60 °C, 90 °C, 100 °C, or 120 °C), and re-closes once cooled below the reset threshold. With its reliable auto-reset behavior and high-current rating, it’s suitable for over-temperature protection in a wide range of appliances and electronics.
Features
- Bimetal Snap‑Action SPST, auto‑reset, normally closed until triggered.
- Preset operating temperatures: 40 °C, 60 °C, 90 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C.
- Rated for up to 250 VAC and 10 A resistive load.
- Low contact resistance (typically ≤ 50 mΩ).
- High insulation strength: withstands AC 1500 V for one minute; insulation ≥ 100 MΩ at DC 500 V.
- Durable auto-reset design, rated for ≥100,000 cycles.
