This is the 250V variant of the BK05 250V 5A 80°C Plastic Thermostatic Temperature Switch NC in Temperature & Humidity Sensor. Available at ₹41.89 (₹35.50 + GST) with free shipping across India.
Product Description
The BK05 250V 5A 80°C Plastic Thermostatic Temperature Switch NC is a thermostat that uses a bimetal disc as the temperature sensor.
When the electrical appliance operates normally, the bimetal disc is free and the contacts are closed.
When the ambient temperature reaches the preset operating temperature, the bimetal disc bends and jumps due to heating, opening the contacts and cutting off the circuit to regulate the temperature. When the electrical appliance cools down to the reset temperature, the contacts close again and reconnect the circuit.
This thermostat is widely used in home appliances and electrical equipment that need thermal protection, such as air conditioner motors, transformers, and thermal appliances.
Features:
- Mechanical making and breaking of electrical circuits.
- Easy to use, small and handy module.
- Useful in a variety of applications.
- Acts as temperature operated circuit breaker.

How to Use BK05 250V 5A 80°C Plastic Thermostatic Temperature Switch
Mount the switch’s plastic head close to the heat source using cable ties or mounting clips, then wire its leads in series with your load. Ensure the bimetal sensing surface contacts the monitored component, tighten connections securely, and power up the circuit to let the thermostat open at 80 °C and reset automatically upon cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BK05 switch normally closed or normally open?
The BK05 is a normally closed (NC) thermostat, meaning its contacts remain closed under normal temperatures and open when the sensor reaches 80 °C.
What happens after the switch trips at 80 °C?
When the ambient temperature hits the 80 °C trip point, the bimetal disc snaps open, interrupting the circuit. Once the device cools below its release temperature, the disc resets and the contacts close automatically.
Can I install the BK05 switch on a motor housing?
Yes. Affix the switch head to the motor housing or bracket using cable ties or mounting clips, ensuring good thermal contact. Then wire it in series with your motor’s power lead for effective over-temperature protection.
