KST-168 Bimetal Thermostat (Adjustable, factory set 90°C) Key benefits Precise temperature control: adjustable bimetal temperature switch lets you set and fine-tune the cut-out temperature as needed. Factory set to 90°C for common protection applications. Protects equipment and users: cuts power at the set temperature to reduce the risk of overheating, extending appliance life and improving safety. Handles high-power loads: rated for 16 A / 250 VAC, suitable for many household and light commercial heating devices without sacrificing performance. Built for durability: constructed from steel, brass, copper and ceramic to withstand repeated thermal cycles and high operating temperatures. What makes it stand out Reliable bimetal action provides consistent, repeatable switching over time. High load rating combined with robust materials makes it appropriate for demanding heating applications. Straightforward adjustable setting allows easy calibration to match specific device requirements. Compatibility and function Compatible with a wide range of heating appliances: electric heaters, electric irons, rice cookers, toasters, fryers and ovens. Function: acts as a temperature-controlled switch that opens or closes the circuit when the bimetal element reaches the set temperature, offering simple over-temperature protection. Typical use scenarios Rice cooker: set the thermostat to 90°C to manage cooking cycle limits and prevent overheating during prolonged use. Deep fryer or toaster: use as an over-temperature cutoff to protect heating elements and oil/food from reaching unsafe temperatures. Electric iron or space heater: integrate as a safety thermostat to interrupt power if the device exceeds the selected temperature. Material and performance highlights Construction: steel, brass, copper and ceramic materials chosen for thermal resilience and electrical durability. Performance: designed to withstand high temperatures and frequent switching cycles while maintaining electrical integrity at the specified 16 A / 250 VAC rating.
