NTC thermistor for rapid response to small mid-range temperature changes

22-02-2023 | Variohm | Test & Measurement

Variohm EuroSensor has released a new NTC thermistor targeted at mid-range temperature measurement where high accuracy and fast response times are crucial. The competitively priced ENTC-MTP-65-10k3977-02 provides a resistance tolerance of ±0.2C over a zero to 70C temperature range that is ideal for many medical, industrial, and environmental control and monitoring areas. The thermistor’s 1.1mm diameter x 5mm long tube design, encapsulated in black STYCAST 2850FT thermally conductive epoxy, provides maximum moisture protection and exceptional thermal transfer for a response time of 0.5s in liquids – and its diminutive tip size permits straightforward integration in measurement instruments and equipment.

With a 10kOhm no-load resistance at +25C, the thermistor has a full operating range of -40C to +125C and a Beta Value 25/85 constant of 3977K ±1%. Further reinforcing its application durability, the thermistor has 60mm long PVDF insulated 30AWG silver-plated copper leadwires that can be optionally specified to serve customer needs.

The thermistor is part of the company's growing range of temperature-sensing components. Other types of temperature devices obtainable include specialist temperature probes adapted as components such as ring terminals, hex bolts, and other tubular probes for direct mounting on customers' equipment. The comprehensive range also incorporates temperature transducers, space-qualified thermistors, thermocouples, temperature switches, infrared sensors and more.
