BR32KB104M

NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) Thermistors are temperature sensors that exhibit a decrease in resistance with increasing temperature. The BR32KB104M, one type of NTC thermistor, is commonly used in environmental, safety, and medical applications. In this article, we’ll explore the application field and working principle of the BR32KB104M.

Application Field

The BR32KB104M is a popular choice for high-temperature environments, and is commonly used in fuel cells and petrochemical installations. It is also suitable for utilization in semiconductor manufacture due to its extreme insensitivity to stray currents. The device is suitable for use in safety applications, including smoke detectors, and for medical applications that require temperature monitoring of the human body.

Working Principle

The BR32KB104M is composed of a conductive disk embedded in a coated polymer. The conductive disk includes two metallic electrodes, and a semiconductor material between the two. When the temperature changes, the properties of the semiconductor material also change, resulting in a change in resistance. The amount of resistance change is proportional to the temperature, so that the BR32KB104M can be used to measure temperature accurately in a wide range of temperatures.

The BR32KB104M is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor. An NTC thermistor has a negative resistance temperature coefficient, meaning that the resistance decreases as the temperature increases. This makes NTC thermistors ideal for applications in which the resistance changes with a change in temperature.

At capital frequencies of up to 1kHz, the temperature coefficient of the BR32KB104M is 0.85 %/°C, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications where precision temperature measurements are required. In addition, the BR32KB104M’s coefficient is adjustable, allowing the user to set the desired temperature coefficient for the application.

Conclusion

As a temperature sensor, the BR32KB104M is a popular choice due to its ability to accurately measure temperatures in a wide range of applications. The device is composed of a conductive disk embedded in a coated polymer, and its resistance decreases as the temperature increases. In addition, its adjustable temperature coefficient makes it a suitable choice for applications in which precise temperature measurements are required. The BR32KB104M is a commonly used thermistor in environmental, safety, and medical applications.
