NTC Thermistors
The NTC Thermistors
NTC Thermistors is a negative temperature coefficient resistor that significantly reduces its resistance value as the heat/ ambient temperature rises. Thermistors is sintered in high-temperature (1200 °C to 1500 °C), and manufactured in various shapes. It’s comprised of 2 to 4 kinds of metal oxides: iron, nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper.
Features
● Temperature Coefficient of Resistance is negative, and it’s extremely large (–2.8 to –5.1 [%/°C]).
● Various shapes, especially compact size components are available.
● Selection of resistance vale is comparatively free, it’s available from several tens Ω to several hundred kΩ.
