Littelfuse KSD1420 - The KSD1 Series features two-terminal, series-connection with the load. The KSD1 Series is an ideal choice for delay-onmake timing applications. This series is designed for general purpose commercial and industrial applications where a small, cost effective, reliable solid-state timer is required. The factory calibration for fixed time delays is within 5% of the target time delay. The repeat accuracy, under stable conditions, is 0.5% of the selected time delay. This series is designed for popular AC and DC voltages. Time delays of 0.1 seconds to 1000 minutes are available in 6 ranges. The output is rated 1A steady and 10Ainrush. The modules are totally solid state and encapsulated to protect the electronic circuitry. Operation (Delay-on-Make): Upon application of input voltage, the time delay begins. The output is de-energized before and during the time delay. At the end of the time delay, the output energizes and remains energized until input voltage is removed. Reset: Removing input voltage resets the time delay and output.

Overview

The Littelfuse KSD1420 is a compact, two-terminal solid-state delay-on-make timer engineered for precise timing control in commercial and industrial automation systems. This series-connection timer delivers factory-calibrated time delays within ±5% of target and repeat accuracy of ±0.5% under stable conditions, making it ideal for applications requiring accurate delay-on activation. The KSD1420 supports time delays from 0.1 seconds to 1000 minutes across six selectable ranges, compatible with common AC and DC input voltages used in industrial control systems. With a 1A steady-state and 10A inrush output rating, the KSD1420 provides reliable performance for control circuits requiring up to 100 million operations in typical conditions. Its fully encapsulated, solid-state design eliminates moving parts, preventing arcing and wear while offering protection against shock, vibration, and humidity. This construction ensures long-term durability in harsh operating environments where reliability is critical. The KSD1420 operates by de-energizing the output during the delay period and energizing it only after the preset time elapses, remaining active until input voltage is removed. This behavior makes it particularly suitable for applications such as conveyor sequencing, motor start delays, or safety interlocks where delayed activation is required. For remote adjustment of time delays, the KSD1420 is compatible with Littelfuse accessories including the P1004-95 Versa-Pot potentiometer and P0700-7 Versa-Knob, enabling panel-mount configuration flexibility. Available in popular AC and DC voltage configurations, the KSD1420 provides a cost-effective timing solution without compromising on accuracy or reliability. Its compact footprint and series-connection design simplify integration into existing control panels, reducing installation complexity and space requirements. Whether used in OEM equipment or retrofit applications, this timer delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance needs. The KSD1420 is manufactured in the US by Littelfuse, a trusted leader in industrial protection and control solutions.
