Temperature Sensors - PTC Thermistors

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Thermistors are temperature sensitive resistors made from a specially formulated ceramic material that exhibits a large, predictable and precise change in resistance with a corresponding change in temperature. The PTC Thermistor, identified by its B59960C0160A070 part number, is a widely used component in a number of temperature measurement and control applications.

Construction Of PTC Thermistors

PTC thermistors are small and inexpensive components constructed from a specially formulated ceramic material. They consist of a semiconductor ceramic core that is made of both positively and negatively charged particles. These particles are suspended in a polymer or nitrile binder and molded into discs, chips, or cylinders. A thin layer of gold or silver plating is then applied to the outside surface of the thermistor and keeps the charges from escaping.

Working Principle of B59960C0160A070

The working principle of B59960C0160A070 is based on the temperature-dependent resistance of the ceramic material. This material has a positive temperature coefficient (PTC). As the temperature rises, the resistance of the material also increases. When a current is applied to the thermistor, a voltage drop is measured across it. This voltage drop is proportional to the resistance of the material, which increases with temperature.

Application Fields For B59960C0160A070

The positive temperature coefficient of the B59960C0160A070 makes it ideal for use in temperature measurement and control applications. For example, it can be used in motor protection circuits to automatically shut off the motor if the temperature rises too high. It can also be used in power supplies as a temperature sensor, to prevent overheating. The thermistor can also be used in temperature sensors for industrial process control, and in medical applications to measure body temperature. Additionally, these thermistors are used in some consumer and electronic appliances to monitor temperature and prevent damage.
