With the discontinuation of the KTY 84 / 83 from NXP, the PTC-600 can be an alternative under certain conditions.
Product information

PTC-600 Temperature range: -40°C to 190°C R100 resistance: 1000 Ohm Tolerance (at 100°C): +-3% Thermal time constant: Windless: 21s Standing wate: n.a Flowing water: n.a Maximum current (at 25°C): 8mA Connection pins: tin-plated

With the discontinuation of the KTY 84 / 83 from NXP, the PTC-600 can be an alternative under certain conditions. However, it is not a fully 100% substitute due to its technical and mechanical properties.

Let’s discuss the tailored solution we can develop together with you.

• From approx. 160 °C, the incline of the characteristic curve is no longer linear(disadvantage compared to KTY84)
• Measuring range up to a maximum of 190 °C (disadvantage compared to KTY84)
• Recommended measuring current 1 mA (corresponds to KTY84)
• The dimensions of the sensor differ from the KTY sensor: larger outer diameter, longer length, thicker wire
• The temperature sensor is polarity-independent (advantage compared to KTY84)
