Key Features
- KSD301 series snap action thermostat is a kind of miniature hermetically sealed bimetal snap disc (1/2″). It is of single-pole single-throw structure and works under resistive load.
- KSD301 bimetal thermostat is in wide use in a great variety of compact type home appliances with automatic reset or manual reset to provide temperature control or temperature protection.
- KSD301 snap action thermostat series is a small-size bimetal thermostat series with a metal cap,which belongs to thermal relays family. The main principle is that one function of bimetal discs is snap action under the change of sensing temperature. The snap action of disc can push the action of the contacts through the inside structure, then caused on or off of the circuits finally. The main characteristics are the fixation of working temperature, the reliable snap action, less flashover, longer working life and less radio interference.

Frequently Asked Questions
A snap action thermostat is a type of temperature control device that uses a bimetallic strip to achieve rapid switching between on and off states when the temperature reaches a set point.
A bimetal thermostat operates based on the principle of differential expansion of two dissimilar metals. As temperature changes, the metals expand or contract at different rates, causing the bimetallic strip to bend and activate or deactivate the switch.
Snap action thermostats offer rapid response and precise temperature control, making them suitable for applications that require quick and accurate switching at specific temperature thresholds.
A snap disc is a type of switch that uses a bimetallic disc to trigger the switching action. In contrast, a snap action thermostat is a complete temperature control device that incorporates a snap action mechanism along with a temperature sensing element.
A snap disc thermostat utilizes a bimetallic disc that snaps between two positions as the temperature rises or falls. The disc’s movement triggers the opening or closing of electrical contacts, controlling the connected circuit.
Mechanical thermostats find application in various heating, cooling, and temperature control systems, such as HVAC systems, water heaters, ovens, and refrigerators.
Yes, snap action thermostats can be used for both heating and cooling applications by configuring the switch action accordingly. They can control the operation of heating elements, fans, compressors, or other components based on temperature requirements.
Snap action thermostats are available in various temperature ranges to suit different applications. The temperature range can be customized based on specific requirements, typically ranging from -40°C to 250°C (-40°F to 482°F) or higher.
Snap action thermostats are designed to be robust and resistant to environmental factors like vibration or shock. They are constructed to ensure reliable operation even in challenging conditions.
Selecting the right snap action thermostat involves considering factors such as temperature range, current and voltage ratings, switch configuration, mounting options, and environmental conditions. It is recommended to consult with Langir to ensure the thermostat meets your specific requirements.
