Temperature Sensors - NTC Thermistors

NTC thermistors are temperature sensors that are made from metallic oxides that are embedded in a plastic material, providing a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. The MF52A332J3470 is a product of Panasonic NTC thermistors that are mainly used in temperature control applications. In this article, we will review the main application fields and working principle for Sony’s MF52A332J3470.

Application Fields of Sony’s MF52A332J3470

The MF52A332J3470 from Sony is mostly used in applications that require precise temperature control, like air conditioners, refrigerators, water heaters, and ovens. In addition to consumer and industrial applications, the MF52A332J3470 is also often used in medical equipment such as blood analyzers, medical equipment, and diagnostic machines. Furthermore, they can also be used in circuit boards and automatic systems, helping to reduce or maintain operating temperatures.

Working Principle of Sony’s MF52A332J3470

When exposed to heat, Sony’s MF52A332J3470 NTC thermistors change their resistance value. Sony designed these thermistors to have resistance values within the range of 10K to 30K OHMs. This means that when the temperature rises, the resistance of the thermistor falls. Similarly, when the temperature falls, the resistance of the thermistor will increase. This is the phenomenon known as the “Negative Temperature Coefficient of Resistance” (NTCR).

The NTCR is expressed in a numerical form and is based on the relative change of resistance of the thermistor to temperature. Based on the temperature rise (or fall), the resistance adjustment (in mV/K) of Sony’s MF52A332J3470 is 29.1 mV/K. This allows for very accurate temperature control in applications that require precise temperature regulation.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Sony\'s MF52A332J3470 NTC thermistors are highly accurate temperature sensors that are used in a wide range of applications. With a temperature range of 10K to 30K OHMs, and a relative change of resistance of 29.1 mV/K, Sony\'s MF52A332J3470 thermistor is able to provide precise temperature control for most applications. The MF52A332J3470 thermistor is a great choice for anyone looking to build accurate, reliable, and affordable temperature control systems.
