Three new ceramic positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor sample kits include the following: SMD PTC Thermistors for Limit Temperature Sensing/Superior Series features components designed for use as temperature sensors for such applications as LED lamps, power supplies, and notebooks. Samples are included for sizes 0402, 0603, and 0805 across temperatures ranges of 75° and 145°C in steps of 10,000. All thermistors are suitable for reflow and wave soldering, and are certified to AEC-Q200.
SMD PTC Thermistors for Overcurrent Protection are used as self-resetting fuses that limit current to uncritical values in the event of overload or short circuit. The thermistors are available in sizes 0603, 1210, 3225, and 4032, and are used in surge-current-protection applications. PTC Thermistors for Inrush Current Limiters are suitable as inrush current limiters in ac/dc inverters, frequency converters, air-conditioning systems, pumps, and equipment that exposes the power line to high inrush currents.
