B59601A0085B062 Application Field and Working Principle

PTC thermistors, also known as positive temperature coefficient thermistors (PTCs), are semiconductor temperature sensors that are widely used in temperature sensing, control or compensation applications. The model B59601A0085B062 is a PTC thermistor showcasing a mix bar axial type design with 385K ohm resistance and 5% tolerance. This particular PTC thermistor is designed for general purposes such as over-current protection or temperature control.

The sensitivity and response time of a PTC thermistor measures how quickly the output voltage or current changes as the temperature of the thermistor changes. The working principle of the B59601A0085B062 PTC thermistor is based on a phenomenon known as the positive temperature coefficient (PTC). This phenomenon states that as the temperature of a material increases, the resistance of the material also increases.

In the B59601A0085B062 PTC thermistor, the resistance changes as the temperature increases due to the change in semiconductor material. This change in resistance will cause a corresponding change in the output voltage or current. This makes the PTC thermistor an ideal device for sensing the temperature of a system or for controlling the temperature of a system.

The B59601A0085B062 PTC thermistor is primarily used in over-current protection applications. Examples include power supply protection, motor protection, and electronic equipment protection. Additionally, this PTC thermistor can be used for temperature control applications such as hot tubs, refrigerators, and HVAC systems. It is also widely used in automotive, consumer electronics, medical, and industrial applications.

The B59601A0085B062 PTC thermistor can be mounted in different ways depending on the application. Its mix bar axial type design makes it suitable for surface-mount applications. This PTC thermistor is known for its robust construction, reliable performance, and user-friendly features.

For reliable and accurate temperature measurement, the B59601A0085B062 PTC thermistor is the perfect choice. It is designed for general purpose applications and is ideal for use in over-current protection and temperature control systems.
