Improved soldering for NTC thermistors
Delivering high sensitivity and high accuracy over a wide temperature range, the latest thermistors from BC Components are fully covered with glass for environmental protection.
The sensors are available with PVC single or double insulated cables in line with EN60730/VDE Class I or Class II insulation requirements.
The Class 1 insulated thermistor has a withstand voltage of 1500V AC and the Class II device is rated at 3750V AC.
Minimum insulation resistance in both cases is 100Mohm.
The new NTC thermistors offer options for PCB edge connector, PCB insertion, PCB soldering, wire-to-wire or terminal block insertion.
Available in various mechanical versions - including custom plastic cap diameters and lead lengths - these sensors also benefit from BC's well-known electrical features such as a broad range of R25 values.
A high adhesive strength between the PVC wire and encapsulating material allows for greater durability, particularly in conditions of high humidity, while response time in temperature change varies from 10 to 60s, according to the sensor type.
The single or multiple sensors' cables are suitable for being foamed-in on the back panel of fridges, clamped on a metal or plastic wall or cemented in the floor.
