About NTC Thermistors
NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) Thermistors emerge as standout temperature sensors widely employed in both industrial and consumer products. In comparison to alternatives like RTDs (Resistance Temperature Device), thermocouples, and temperature ICs, NTC thermistors showcase exceptional attributes, including high sensitivity, low noise, simplicity in peripherals, and cost-effectiveness.
It's crucial to acknowledge their two drawbacks: low interchangeability and a non-linear Resistance vs. Temperature (R−T) relationship.
Packaging Options
Our NTC thermistors are offered with either epoxy or glass encapsulated packaging. While epoxy packaging is cost-effective, it may exhibit a higher long-term drift over years. In contrast, glass encapsulation packaging boasts nearly zero drift.
Consequently, our thermistors are exclusively glass-encapsulated, including those integrated into our thermistor assemblies. Their outstanding sensitivity and stability make them ideal companions for our TEC (Thermo-Electric Cooler) controllers and TEC modules, facilitating the construction of high-stability, low-drift temperature regulation systems based on TECs.
