NTC thermistors are temperature sensors which are made of a combination of sintered metal oxide or ceramic materials whose electrical resistance varies with temperature. The temperature range which these thermistors can measure can range from -200℃ to 250℃. They are widely used due to their small size, cost effectiveness, and trustworthy accuracy. The part number B57620C222K62 is a general-purpose NTC thermistor.

Application Field

NTC thermistors are often used for temperature probing, temperature compensation, and over-temperature protection, for use in telecommunications and automotive industries, as well as for home appliances like air conditioning and household electric appliances. The B57620C222K62 thermistor can handle temperatures from -55°C to +125°C, making it particularly ideal for use with home appliances and automotive electronics.

Working Principle

NTC thermistors are made of various semiconductor materials whose conductivity changes with temperature. When the temperature of the thermistor increases, it’s electrical resistance decreases and vice versa. This general principle is what allows temperature measurement. The B57620C222K62 thermistor features a B constant of 3100K and a resistance of 10K at 25°C. Its low-resistance property allows for accurate temperature sensing.

Features and Advantages
