The ATH10KL2C is a thermistor assembly with a ring lug outside the glass encapsulated ntc thermistor. The ATH10KL2C series thermistor consists of three types, ATH10KL2C, ATH10KL2CT70 and ATH10KL2CT70S. The ATH10KL2C comes with two leads coated with copper, the ATH10KL2CT70 has the copper leads with high temperature plastic tubing and also sealed by epoxy, while the ATH10KL2CT70S is the sealed version of ATH10KL2CT70. The different types are applied to different applications. The sealed version is liquid resistant, so it can be used in the applications with some noncorrosive liquid.(more)

With the development of technology and science, thermal electric coolers (TECs) have been more and more popular in cooling system. TECs can cool and heat in the same time, depending on the direction of the input current. TECs have many advantages of no moving parts, no noise, no pollution and long service lifetime. These are the reason why TECs have been widely used in cooling system.(more)

When proper measures have been adopted to protect the TECs from being overheated, we can solder the TEC with metalized surface to thermoelectric components. In order to prevent the TEC from excessive mechanical force, solder one surface (usually hot end) to a component with rigid structure. It's worth noted that when we solder the TEC to a rigid structure component, other components or small circuits shall be soldered in the cold end of the TEC, which will not connect to the external structure rigidly. During soldering, in order to prevent the TEC from excessive heat, we need to control the temperature precisely. In the meantime, the temperature during the process will not exceed the operating temperature of TECs. Since the coefficients of thermal expansions of ceramic plates, heat sink and the object are different, it's not recommended to use soldering method in over 15×15 mm2 TECs.(more)

Similar to ATH10KL2A and ATH10KL2C, ATH10KL2B is also a ntc thermistor assembly packaged in a ring lug. The inner ntc thermistor head is ATH10K1R25, thus, they have similar characteristics, while ATH10KL2B is for easy mounting.(more)

(c) Use proper pre tin in the soldering area of the surface of the heat sink. Thus, the melting point of the solder shall be lower or equal to the maximum operating temperature of the thermoelectric cooler. When plating tin on the heat sink, we shall keep the temperature of the heat sink in a proper temperature, which could melt the solder but not exceed the maximum operating temperature of the TEC .(more)

NTC thermistors are more and more popular in many applications that need temperature control or measurement. ATI released several series of ntc thermistors including ATH10KR8B, ATH10KL2A, ATH10K1R25 and ATH100KR8 series. ATH100KR8 series ntc thermistors are mainly introduced here.(more)

Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is built on the Peltier effect. Due to the internal structure features of semiconductor material, it has more obvious thermoelectric effects than other metals do. Therefore, semiconductor material is usually used for making TEC.(more)

LED lighting is also called solid state lighting as the third generation lighting technology after the incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp. LED lighting featuresenergy saving, environmental protection and high reliability. Nowadays, LED lighting has been widely used in daily life. Our company (ATI) has released a solarLED desk lamp, as shown in Figure 1.The LED lamp comes with eighteen LEDs, white light. The power is only 1.8 watt. The brightness is the same as a 15-watt incandescent lamp.(more)

ATH10KL2A Series NTC Thermistors are similar to another two series ntc thermistors, ATH10KL2B and ATH10KL2C. The inner thermistor head of ATH10KL2A is ATH10KR8, thus, they have very similar characteristics. ATH10KL2A has a metal ring lug packaged outside the inner thermistor head, which is used for easy mounting.(more)

ATH10K1R0 Series NTC Thermistors are newly developed in our company ATI. These ntc thermistors are miniature thermistors with high stability and high reliability since it’s glass encapsulated. ATH10K1R0 has a high stability of less than 0.1°C/Y. and the resistance accuracy is 1%, higher than most of epoxy encapsulated ntc thermistors.(more)
