Industrial MF5A Temperature NTC Thermistor Stable Epoxy Enameled Wire

Small Volume MF5A Temperature NTC Thermistor Epoxy Enameled Wire Stability And Reliability

The temperature sensor has the following characteristics:

 

NTC thermistors are used in a wide range of applications. They are used to measure temperature, control temperature and temperature compensation. They can also be used to detect the absence or presence of liquids, as a current limiting device in power circuits, temperature monitoring in automotive applications, and more. NTC sensors can be divided into three groups depending on the electrical characteristics used in the application.
 

1. Resistance - Temperature Characteristics
 

Applications based on resistance-time characteristics include temperature measurement, control and compensation. These also include the case of using NTC thermistors, making the temperature of the NTC temperature sensor related to some other physical phenomenon. This group of applications requires the thermistor to operate under zero power conditions, meaning that the current through it is kept as low as possible to avoid heating the probe.
 

2. Current time characteristics
 

Applications based on current-time characteristics include: time delay, inrush current limiting, inrush suppression, and more. These characteristics are related to the heat capacity and dissipation constant of the NTC thermistor used. Circuits often rely on the heating of the NTC thermistor due to the passage of current. At some point, it will trigger some kind of change in the circuit, depending on the application it's being used in.

3. Voltage-Current Characteristics
 

Applications based on the thermistor's voltage-current characteristics often involve changes in environmental conditions or circuit changes, which result in changes in the operating point on a given curve in the circuit. Depending on the application, it can be used for current limiting, temperature compensation or temperature measurement.

Negative temperature coefficient thermistor, also known as NTC thermistor, is a kind of sensor resistance whose resistance value decreases with the increase of temperature. Widely used in various electronic components, such as temperature sensors, resettable fuses and self-adjusting heaters, etc.
