Snap action KST thermostats are the kind of thermostats that can adjust the temperature. The temperature can be available from 100-230°C. It uses the working principle of bimetallic sheet. Bimetallic sheet is also called thermal bimetallic sheet. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of each component layer, when the temperature changes, the deformation of the active layer is greater than that of the passive layer, so the whole bimetallic sheet will bend to one side of the passive layer, and the curvature of the composite will change, thus resulting in deformation. The Snap action KST thermostats are widely applied for temperature control of electric iron, electric oven, bakeware, waffle maker, etc.
The snap action thermostat has the following advantages:
1. Fast connection and disconnection speed of contact, generally no arc is generated;
2. Accurate temperature regulation and control;
3. High pressure and low contact resistance between contacts;
4. Long service life of contact;
5. It has very little interference to radio and audio-visual appliances
