Application notes Of The PTC Thermistor 100 Ohms 70°C Bead

PTC thermistors as limit temperature sensors With PTC thermistors as temperature sensors only the steep region of the R/T characteristic is used. The resistance of the PTC thermistor is to be regarded as a function of the ambient temperature [RPTC = f (TA)]. The precondition for this relationship between resistance and ambient temperature is that selfheating and/or the varistor effect are excluded. This means that these PTC thermistors must be operated in the lowest possible field strengths. To enable a fast response, thermistor sensors have especially small dimensions. High control accuracy is achieved by using materials with an extra steep resistance/temperature characteristic. Limit temperature measurement for industrial applications A PTC thermistor can be used effectively to detect whether a temperature limit in industrial equipment, liquids, etc. is exceeded. The PTC thermistor is mounted in thermal contact with the medium that has to be protected from overheating. When the rated temperature limit of the medium is reached, the resistance of the PTC thermistor increases abruptly. In connection with a control unit, this signal can be used to automatically switch off the power supply of a load. EPCOS offers leaded disks, metal tags, screw-type metal cases as well as surface-mounted devices.

Advantages of PTC limit temperature sensors

PTC thermistors are temperature-dependent resistors based on special semiconductor ceramics with a high positive temperature coefficient (PTC). They exhibit relatively low resistance values at room temperature, but their resistance rises significantly when they are heated by an external heat source to above a certain temperature (Curie temperature).
With this unique property PTC thermistors are used to protect components and devices from overheating.ampfort's broad portfolio of high-quality and highly reliable PTC limit temperature sensors includes SMD, leaded disk and screw-on types, so that a suitable component is available for nearly every overtemperature detection requirement. Motor protection sensors are PTC limit temperature sensors with a special designed shape, allowing them to be directly assembled within the windings (stator side) of electric motors.
The following are applications for PTC limit temperature sensors and motor protection sensors.
* In the following articles and diagrams PTC limit temperature sensors and motor protection sensors are referred to as PTC thermistors for short. Also, circuit diagrams are simplified.
