Ceramic thermistors protect modern supplies
Murata's PRF series of ceramic thermistors increase their resistance very sharply when exposed to temperatures over a certain level.
Chip thermistors cut the cost of protection
Murata has significantly reduced the prices of its proven Posistor range of PTC chip thermistors.
With price cuts of up to nearly 20% on some parts, Murata is pleased to pass on savings gained in reduced production costs to customers.
These high reliability, high stability and high accuracy ceramic devices are now cost-competitive with polymer alternatives.
The NCP03, NCP15 and NCP18 negative temperature coefficient chip thermistors feature a tight resistance tolerance of +/-1% available on versions specified to 10, 47 and 100kohm.
The parts comply with RoHS legislation and are resistant to high heat soldering with a tin/nickel plated over silver alloy terminations.
Constructed with non precious metal inner electrodes to ensure low pricing, the devices are highly resistant to humidity.
Available in 0201, 0402 and 0603 case sizes, the NTC thermistors are ideal for designers seeking to reduce the size (and cost) of new products.
Applications include temperature compensation of power amplifiers, LCD contrast control and temperature detection in Li-ion and NiMH battery packs.
They are particularly popular in equipment such as portable audio systems, mobile phones, digital/video cameras and PCs and peripherals.
