Precision 160 °C Thermal Cut-off
The Unique-Bargains KSD9700 is a normally-closed bimetal thermostat that opens at 160 °C to protect motors, ballasts and chargers from overheating. Rated for 250 V and 5 A, each 70 mm two-wire unit suits maintenance engineers and DIY repairers who need a reliable high-temperature safety switch.
Sustained 100 000-cycle endurance
The square bimetal element snaps open cleanly when the sensing temperature reaches the 160 °C threshold and resets automatically once the temperature falls. Life testing confirms 100 000 actuation cycles, so the switch maintains consistent trip behaviour through repeated thermal excursions rather than drifting after a few events.
Low-loss metal body runs cool
The compact metal housing dissipates heat quickly, keeping contact resistance low during continuous 5 A operation at 250 V. No fan or forced airflow is required, so the device adds negligible acoustic noise and minimal power draw to the protected circuit in normal use.

Questions about this item
How hot does the KSD9700 thermostat get during continuous 5 A operation?
The KSD9700 is a thermal switch rated to open at 160 °C; its own temperature follows the device it protects, so it does not self-heat significantly at 250 V 5 A.
What wiring or connectors must I already have to install these 2-wire switches?
Each switch has two bare wires 70 mm long, so you need a way to splice or crimp them into your circuit — screw terminals, wire nuts or solder joints will work.
Will the 160 °C trip point protect an older motor that originally used a lower-temperature cutoff?
No, a 160 °C switch allows higher temperatures than a lower-rated cutoff, so it would not provide the same protection for that motor.
