Thermistor is a temperature sensitive resistor whose resistance value significantly changes with temperature. According to the temperature coefficient characteristics, thermistors are mainly divided into the following two categories:
Thermistor (Thermistor) is a semiconductor device that is highly sensitive to temperature in terms of resistance value. Its resistance value shows significant nonlinear changes with temperature, and is mainly used in fields such as temperature detection, temperature compensation, overcurrent protection, and temperature control. Thermistors are divided into two categories based on their temperature coefficients: positive temperature coefficient (PTC) and negative temperature coefficient (NTC). The following is a detailed analysis of its working principle, core characteristics, and applications:
Murata Co., Ltd. has expanded its series of PTC thermistors with a size of 0603M (0.6 × 0.3 × 0.3mm) for overheating detection, specifically designed for mobile devices and vehicles. It has also added products with a nominal resistance of 1k Ω and sensing temperatures of 105 ℃ and 115 ℃. This product is scheduled to start mass production from October.
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has developed a 0603M size (0.6 × 0.3 × 0.3mm) copper electrode negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, with models "NCU03XH103F6SRL" and "NCU03XH103F60RL". This new product expands the size lineup of the NCU series and meets the high-density and miniaturized requirements of circuit boards in the automotive market, as well as the high reliability requirements for electronic components. Mass production has begun and samples can be provided.
With the increasing popularity of electronic equipment today, circuit protection is particularly important. Whether it is mobile phones, computers or household appliances, all kinds of components to ensure the safe and stable operation of the circuit. Its PTC thermistor, self-restoring fuse and fuse are three common circuit protection components, like the three musketeers of the guard circuit, each showing their powers to protect our electronic equipment from the threat of overcurrent.
With the changes in the healthcare market environment, personal healthcare devices used for daily health management have also been affected. These products are smaller in size and support cloud connectivity. Murata's product features: By utilizing compact universal components (capacitors, inductors, etc.), we manufacture compact products with higher design freedom. Utilize Bluetooth Intelligent modules and wireless communication modules that support near-field communication (NFC) make it easier to manufacture daily health monitoring products with network connectivity capabilities.
