[Temperature – NTC / Thermistors]

NTC / Thermistors

Basic information
The NTC-thermistor is used for precise temperature monitoring, control, and switching.

Application
Temperature monitoring of bearings, bus bars, machines, and windings.

General function
The NTC-temperature sensors have a non-linear, negative temperature coefficient of resistance over the complete temperature range.

Advantages

• low cost over a wide temperature range: -40...300°C
• resistance characteristic: 0,1 KOhm ... 1000 KOhm sufficient for most applications
• low weight
• low thermal time constant
