Bimetallic Thermostat Snap-Action Thermal Cut Off Switch
The KSD series thermostat operates on the principle of bimetal discs snapping into action when sensing temperature changes. This snap action activates internal contacts to open or close circuits. Key features include fixed working temperatures, reliable snap action, minimal flashover, extended lifespan, and reduced radio interference.

KSD304 Auto Reset vs Manual Reset Types
Manual Reset Type
When temperature reaches the action range, the bimetallic strip quickly disconnects. The circuit remains open until manually reset by pressing a button (4-6N force recommended). Requires temperature to decline 20°C before resetting. Minimum 20.4mm clearance required between reset button and cover.
Auto Reset Type
Automatically resets when temperature declines to specified point, without manual intervention.
