Thermistors, NTC


For adjusting and adjusting the operation of devices, as well as the proper course of the technological process, an important parameter of control is temperature. Thermistors guarantee protection of devices against unstable current loads and provide stabilization of temperature resistance under different climatic conditions. Thermistor (NTC) is a semiconductor element that changes its resistance depending on temperature. It is a component made in the form of a ball or disc with connecting or metal leads. What is the principle of operation of the thermistor? At high temperatures, its resistance instantaneously decreases and the conductivity increases accordingly, and at low temperature, the resistance becomes greater. Thermistors are divided into 2 main groups. Thermistors (NTC) with a negative temperature coefficient of resistance – with an increase in the temperature value the resistance of the resistor drops down, they are used to control the starting current. Posistors (PTC) with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance – with an increase in temperature, the resistance of the resistor increases, they are used as fuses, switches, thermal sensors and heating elements. The case of thermistors is made from such metals: plastic, metal, glass, ceramics. If necessary, our professional managers will always help you choose and buy thermistors. Product only from time-tested manufacturers. Thermistor applications. In various fields of electronics, reliable control of temperature parameters is necessary. Most often, thermistors are used to set a constant starting current. When voltage is supplied through the electrical line to the power supply unit, there is a very strong charge of a large-capacity capacitor. NTC corrects and limits incoming current. Thus, it stabilizes the original resistance and prevents the device from heating or breaking. Thanks to the thermistors in the electronic equipment, they determine the temperature coefficient, which allows balancing the temperature of the component components in the electrical circuit and controlling the operation of the device. In the online store of Eurocom Components, the price of a thermistor depends on its type and purpose. You can order goods from a trusted manufacturer both in retail (from one) and wholesale (small or large). Delivery works throughout Ukraine.
