Temperature Sensors - NTC Thermistors

NTC thermistors are temperature sensors composed of sintered oxide semiconductor materials whose resistance varies with changes in temperature. NTC thermistors have a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) of resistance. As the temperature increases, the NTC thermistor\'s resistance decreases more than proportionally to the temperature change. The resistance of an NTC thermistor is usually plotted on a graph as the reciprocal of NTC thermistors resistance versus temperature.

173-223LAF-301 Application Field and Working Principle

The 173-223LAF-301 is designed to provide reliable temperature sensing in a variety of applications, and is extremely versatile. Its ability to be used as a direct replacement for other temperature sensing technologies makes it ideal for OEM applications. The NTC thermistor in this device can be configured to measure the resistance as a function of ambient temperature with an accuracy of ± 0.1°C.

The working principle of the 173-223LAF-301 is simple; when the ambient temperature around the thermistor changes, the resistance of the thermistor changes accordingly. The voltage drop across the thermistor is, in turn, proportional to the temperature. A voltage is applied to the thermistor in order to measure its resistance. The voltage can be either constant or dynamically controlled, depending on the application. Through the voltage-temperature relationship, the system can measure the temperature at the sensing location.

The 173-223LAF-301 is specifically designed for temperature control applications. Its wide measuring range removes the need for multiple types of thermistors, and its fast response time ensures accurate and consistent measurements. It is also designed to work with various types of controllers, so it can easily be integrated into any system.
