Providing designers with an alternative to thermocouples in precision circuitry, NTC thermistor chips offer high stability and maximum sensitivity for temperature measurement, compensation, and control in applications such as fan motor controls, liquid levels, and temperature sensors in a wide range of end products.
Measuring 1.27 mm x 1.27 mm with profiles ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.8 mm, these devices offer resistances at 25°C from 100 Ω to 500 kΩ, a wide range of TCR values, and high-temperature operation up to +150°C. The NTC thermistor chips provide a dissipation constant of 2 mW/°C and thermal time constants of up to 2 seconds. RoHS compliant, these leaded components are available in both epoxy-coated and uncoated configurations.
The devices are available directly or through distributors such as Digi-Key, Mouser, Dexter Magnetic Technologies, and PUI. Samples and production quantities of the NTC thermistor chips are available now, with factory lead times of six weeks.
